My issue has arrived here in Boston US! I have put it aside to enjoy as a treat at some point later.
Congratulations to all!

I'm really worried now about an unearthly retribution for the amount of apples I stole, more than I could have possibly eaten.

Keep posting regularly, so we'll know you're ok! As years of stealing apples has made me a connoisseur I am prepared to pay for them now (unless no one's looking).

I finally cracked into issue 36 after breakfast today (as we have the day off here at my place of employment), and I loved Victoria Day's clever tale "More About Miss Tweekweed." The story felt like what would have happened if PG Wodehouse had set out to write something in the vein of the Master.
I suppose it would be far too much of an imposition to ask if the preceding story by Ms. Day, "An Aunt's Tale," could be included in the imminently commencing Vault Advent Calendar? One must hold out hope that the Fates, the Powers will smile.
I am quite intrigued by the premise of the longer story published as a separate booklet. Reading through old inventories of bygone eras is always a fascinating exercise. The lists of objects, especially if some bits of descriptive matter were set down, tell one an extraordinary amount of intriguing minutiae about life in eras now remote.

Re the Advent Calendar, I'm sure she'd be willing. I don't think she's a member here (though who knows - you all have such weird names!), so if you want, Kev, I can put you in touch with her. Vicki has a great new story coming up in the Spring in the G&S Book of Mazes too.

I was looking to see if there's been discussion of Jane Jakeman's longer story, "The Bishop's Inventory." I guess if there is, it is on a separate thread? I am surprised not to see mention of it here.
I finally read the story yesterday, and I thought it was really well done. It had some evocative, atmospheric passages and a very sure grasp of the realities of life during the early years of the reign of Elizabeth I.
I'd love to read more from this author--from her biographical note, I gather she chiefly writes historical fiction, including a novel about Monet visiting Paris circa 1901.
Thanks again to everyone who contributed to this issue and made it happen!
cheers, Steve
