Horrific. THOUSANDS of Ukrainian children have been taken by Russia - with many sent to re-education camps to replace their love of Ukraine with "a love of mother Russia"

Independently found this article and was then very happily surprised that it's all due to the amazing Jess Hodgson, another supervisee of my PhD supervisor! 🤩🙌

How did I not know there's a Tove Jansson-illustrated The Hobbit???? 😮😮😮
My birthdays coming up. Just saying.
If you can, stay somewhere cool and shady, such as an underwater lake in the middle of the mountains: Gollum here in the Tove Jansson illustrated edition of the Hobbit is ticking ALL the boxes, plus he's wearing a sunhat (sort of) blackwell.co.uk/rarebooks/bo…
