Friend of ferrets, liberator of lions, singer of new songs and
lover of little pachyderms, Meg has her own perspective of the
world from the vagaries of time to the delights of wondering where
a butterfly goes. She and her ferret take on to-do lists, two
wheelers and the true definition of being special in verse and line
drawings that are both simple and profound.

not impossible to combine light and darkness
Throughout the early modern period, the nymph remained a powerful
figure that inspired and informed the cultural imagination in many
different ways. Far from being merely a symbol of the classical
legacy, the nymph was invested with a surprisingly broad range of
meanings. Working on the basis of these assumptions, and thus
challenging Aby Warburg's famous reflections on the nympha that
both portrayed her as cultural archetype and reduced her to a
marginal figure, the contributions in this volume seek to uncover
the multifarious roles played by nymphs in literature, drama,
music, the visual arts, garden architecture, and indeed
intellectual culture tout court, and thereby explore the true
significance of this well-known figure for the early modern age.
