Christmas scene in a 15th century manuscript by e-codices
Via Flickr:
Christmas, also known as Nativity, refers to the accounts of the birth of Jesus mainly based on the Gospels of Matthew and Luke. Traditionally, scenes of Nativity, portray the Holy Family in the stable at Bethlehem. The Christ child is represented lying in a manger or upon the straw, whilst Virgin Mary kneels in adoration before Him. In some scenes Virgin Mary is represented lying next to Jesus. Joseph is portrayed standing at one side. The scene also includes depictions of an ox and a donkey, usually in the background, gazing quietly at the scene in front of them. Some Nativity scenes depict one or more angels who proclaim Jesus as the savior for all people, and portrayals of shepherds who come to adore Him. There are also scenes representing the wise men (The Maggi ) who, after following a star, arrive to Bethlehem to bring gifts to Jesus.

The very fabric of life now, she thought as she rose, is magic.
In the eighteenth century, we knew how everything was done; but here I rise through the air; I listen to voices in America; I see men flying-
but how it’s done, I can’t even begin to wonder.
So my belief in magic returns.
Virginia Woolf, Orlando

David Gemmell - Legend - Century, 1986, UK First Edition
London, Century, 1986. First hardback edition and first impression. A Fine copy with a slightly toned page block, flaps have a little creasing to the inside. Legend was Gemmell’s first published book, being originally published in paperback. This is the first hardback edition and Gemmell’s most collectable work. Gemmell passed away in 2006 and has firmly established himself as one of the strongest writers in the genre. This book is the most collectable of the Gemmell books, and a highlight of modern fantasy first editions. An important book.

I’ve decided I’m going to be doing something for you lot once I hit the hundred follower mark. It’s not going to be explicitly sexual, but know those who follow me, I’m sure you’ll be able to read into it.
The way things have been going, I’d imagine it’d be some time later this week. Just thought I’d build up a little suspense rather than completely blindside you with it. I can do the blindsiding when I hit five hundred. Gosh, would you look at the ego on that.
Oh, and thanks for following. It’s been pretty damn fun so far. Ask box is always open, always discrete. So say something, boys and girls.
Ta,
C
