A.N. N Donaldson Congratulations to the winners of my 'Prospero's Mirror' free Halloween giveaway!
Congrats to Maurine, Anfal, Christine, Ian, and Sarah-Jayne. I'm just sending your free books off now. Hope you enjoy. I'd strongly advise you to read them tucked up on the sofa/in front of a fire/in bed. But remember to keep the lights on...

A.N. N Donaldson Currently reading various diaries of 10th century ladies at the Japanese Court in Kyoto. Obscure? Boring? Different World?

Strongly recommend (As I Crossed the Bridge of Dreams, The Pillow Book of Sei Shonagon, The Diary of Lady Murasaki).
