Subtitled, ‘Prose & Verse for Tea-Drinking Anarchists, Convivial Conjurors, & Closeted Optimists,’ this beautifully bound zine contains a collection of poetry and short fiction from themes of the strange and the whimsical.
 
This is the first collection of poetry and prose produced as part of Fiddler’s Green Peculiar Parish Magazine, a project that strives to create a better world in the present time. Each story and poem in this collection contain delightful references to folklore, history, and the occult, mirroring the smaller zines published by the same project. The red textual accents found on the cover are included throughout this anthology, with ink drawings interspersed that contribute to the folkloric aesthetic of the publication. A bonus flexi-disc of Elfrida by Faun Fables comes with this zine.
