I have been working in libraries since I was about 17. I suppose it is in my nature to be an antiquarian. I was particularly excited because it was held in Oxford. In September 2022, I attended my first ILAB Congress. Some sitting upright since the 13th century, waiting to share their stories. The books, however, were speaking loudly. The books did speak, loudly–as did the whispering trees. I walked the halls of cold stone, peeking creatures and whispering trees. John DeeWe look at texts of mysteries and wonder to be aspired. To mysteries far exceading it: And finally to a purpose & Intent: whereby the Maiestie and Name of God, shall and may, and, of force, must appeare with the Apparition of his wunders, and mervayles yet unhard of. This work shall haue relation to tyme present, and present use. Oxford, UK, International League of Antiquarian Booksellers, 2022, Team Wilde
