THROWBACK THURSDAY - Slavic mythology often features a firebird. This is a majestic and very mysterious creature which takes on many meanings throughout Russian fairytales. It's often used to symbolise a daunting quest - the start of a long and difficult journey. It is also a key feature in The Phoenix and the Firebird by Alexis Kossiakoff and Scott Forbes Crawford.

"The Phoenix and the Firebird’ is an exquisitely written, deliciously fun, and often moving historical fantasy novel. Readers with any familiarity with Russian and Chinese fairy tales will find so much to delight in here; readers without, so much to discover. Richly steeped in these mythologies, ‘The Phoenix and the Firebird’ is a gripping, touching story about sacrifice, bravery, belief, and the meaning of home, that will enchant and mesmerize readers from middle-grade to adulthood. Highly, highly recommended." — Kristen Loesch, author of The Last Russian Doll

TOPIC TUESDAY - Have you heard of the genre "Wuxia"?

Wuxia is actually one of the oldest and most influential film genres in Chinese film history. These are, of course, mostly based on novels (by authors sucsh as Jin Yong and Gu Long). Wuxia means “martial hero” or "martial warrior". This is a Chinese fiction genre that centers on martial artists in ancient China. Earnshaw Books has our very own expert on the topic - Alice P**n.

Want to get a feel for the genre? Try P**n's Sword Maiden from the Moon series including Book 1: The Heavenly Sword and Book 2: The Earthly Blaze ⚔
