From Fantasy brand Nemesis Now's giftware collection, this alternative Fairy figurine comes from the Gothic imagination of world-famous Fantasy artist Anne Stokes. In an enchanted forest at night, a young Fairy kneels in front of a still pool as the moon shines through the trees. Her blue and purple wings are unfurled behind her, matching the blue butterflies that flitter around. Her green dress is sleeveless, exposing her Celtic tattoos and silver torcs above the fingerless leather gloves she wears. Her straight black hair has blue streaks through it and hangs down as she reaches out to a human skeleton, barely submerged in the pond. Light shines from her hand as ripples spread outwards from whatever dark magic she's performing, and if her wings are inspected closely a large death's head is visible. Cast in the finest resin before being expertly hand-painted, this enchanted figurine is a great way to add a delicious touch of darkness to your home.

This book follows the Thames Path National Trail from the river's source in Gloucestershire to the Thames Barrier in London. Officially 184 miles (294km) in length (although the actual distance you walk will depend on a number of decisions you make en route), the path meanders, accompanied by its watery muse, through pristine and tranquil countryside, past historic sites and buildings, via pub, lock, weir, and the occasional scattering of waterfowl, to a city, once the fulcrum of an empire, and now the heart of modern day England. The river, responsible for the metropolis' very being, tells tales, inspires artists, accommodates swans, geese, and water voles, reflects the silhouettes of red kites and kingfishers, provides employment, entices adventure, and allows time for carefree pilgrims to procrastinate and think. Following its banks is a grand way to go for a ramble. The path begins, as the river does, in a meadow in the Cotswolds; its upper reaches lonely and wild, the meadows and…
