@louiestowell.bsky.socialWhen I'm done on my deadline I fancy doing a silly loki doodle. Since it's halloween soon, what should Loki dress up as for Hallloween (realistically he'll just shapeshift into it)...? #KidLitUK

@hejparry.bsky.socialAlso I note these are almost all by white women. If you have any recommendations of more diverse magical historical fantasies for children, with a big helping of folklore & gothic vibes, please let me know.
@hejparry.bsky.socialIn my ongoing shameless promotion of A Scrap of Moss & Magick, my forthcoming children’s book, here’s a link to a list I made recommending books with a similar vibe.
I was cruelly restricted to a maximum of seven so it was very hard to choose.
