Anafae - Mother Nature Incarnate. Originally worshipped by early peoples the world over as the Triple-Face Life and Death All-Seasonal Mother Earth, she has countless sacred names and forms. Forgotten by humankind as they continue to close themselves off from Nature, she holds the power of the earth's regeneration. In her travels, she carries a walking stick which can bring forth any power or gift she wishes to bestow.

"I am a scholar; it is my life's goal to search for the answer to every mystery. There are lost meanings in ancient symbolism, and truths hidden behind locked doors... The Book of Annwyn is a direct result of my life's research into human beginnings; it surrounds the reworking of a number of old Welsh Tales, though the truths within them bespeak a world-wide inherent belief system. I hope it allows for some people to understand a bit about themselves and we they came from..." - MR

This pocket-sized perfect-bound edition is Monica Richards' second tome: a light-hearted journey into a haunted garden. Full of a variety of unique characters, each with their own story or song. Accompanied by original illustrations and poetry. Over 70 pages. Excerpts.

"'The Garden Booke of Ghosts' is a strange and delightful place, an amalgamation of places from my own childhood imagination, my dreams, as well as the forested place where my mother grew up. I suppose 'The Garden Booke...' is a Secret Garden of sorts, though with very much its own voice." - MR

This little booklet features some of Monica Richards' poetry from the Book of Annwyn, The Garden Booke, and a number of new and unreleased works: 20 pages.

"This booklet came as a result of requests after I published some unreleased poetry on The Studio website, actually. I have received a number of letters over the last year, asking for just a collection of my poems, so much so that I decided to put this book together." - Monica Richards
