Moomin Adventures: Book One by Tove Jansson and Lars Jansson. Cover by Tove and Lars Jansson. Out in July.
"Presented in an all new softcover format that collects the all ages comics of both Tove Jansson and Lars Jansson, the five-volume Moomin Adventures series will introduce the timeless comic strip to a new generation of readers of all ages. Moomin Adventures Book One kicks off with perhaps the most famous adventure of them all, Moomin on the Riviera, which was adapted into an animated feature and debuted at the London Film Festival. In Moomin's Desert Island, the entire Moomin family is stranded on a desert island-the very island their ancestors came from. The Moominvalley hijinx continued with a charming mix of strips from Finland's most famous writer/artist Tove Jansson, and her brother Lars Jansson who taught himself how to draw in order to take over the strip when it was in syndication."

NEW NONFICTION BOOK - Sabine Baring-Gould's The Book of Werewolves, Annotated and Translated
Big announcement, just in time for Halloween! This source is useful not only on werewolves, but on many other subjects as well, including general shapeshifter legends and more.
Tumblr media
Originally written in 1865, Sabine Baring-Gould's The Book of Were-Wolves is still considered among the best of sources in the field of werewolf studies, as well as folklore studies and the occult. A passionate dive into the folkloric and real history of werewolves, witches and sorcerers, and even madmen and serial killers, Baring-Gould takes a scientific approach to "proving" the reality behind werewolf legends. In doing so, he discusses werewolf legends across history, with particular focus on Scandinavia and the Renaissance / Early Modern eras, and even discusses other shapeshifter folklore from around the world, as well as providing trial accounts of famous killers such as Gilles de Rais. This book is a must-have for scholars in multiple fields and anyone interested in the history of the werewolf legend. The editor's contribution of annotations and translations provide further context to Baring-Gould's work, but his words in themselves are unabridged and uncensored from his original text.
This fully annotated edition of Sabine Baring-Gould's The Book of Werewolves includes:
Academic critique, comments, analyses, and comparisons to modern scholarship
Explanations of folklore and historical context
Translations of quoted passages
Bibliography and list of other helpful reading
Fully formatted and edited manuscript (with table of contents) updated to modern standards

Capa do primeiro livro de poemas de Pound, publicado em julho de 1908 em Veneza. Nenhum editor americano quis publicar um desconhecido à época. Pound pagou 8 dólares pela impressão de 150 exemplares numa gráfica, tinha apenas 80 dólares no bolso ao chegar em Veneza. Quando viu o resultado, quis jogar tudo no canal. Não jogou. O título significa a grosso modo "com a luz apagada", sendo esta luz a dos círios, as velas funerárias, uma referência ao Canto III do Purgatório de Dante, "com os círios apagados".
