I’ve been trying to figure out the name of this book FOREVER! My mother named me after Guenevere in The Book of Romance by Andrew Lang. It was her favorite book as a kid and she couldn’t remember the name but that it was a “horse romance novel” hahaha. Now I have to read this. Thank you for being awesome Shannon. And thank you for raising her child awesome.

Do you happen to know Shannon? They’re probably illustrations as you’ve said but my heart hopes they’re beautiful woodcuts… Wonderful none the less.
