‘The Art of Dragon Age Inquisition’ celebrates an immersive roleplaying fantasy of epic scale, so to speak. This magnificent hardcover book created by Bioware, published in 2014, is in very good condition, brimming with never-before-seen art. There are slight crinkles at the corners. My favourite aspect of this tome is the spacious underworld, with its mossy rocks, tangled roots and grandeur, far more subtle than the more cartoonish style of some game illustrations. You don’t need to be gamer t

‘The Priory Of The Orange Tree’ by Samantha Shannon (Bloomsbury Publishing, 2019) is a gem of literature in the fantasy genre. I was more than three quarters through this exquisite hardback novel, when I became too fragile to hold its weight. Fortunately, Bendigo is brimming with bookshops, so I bought myself a paperback version. My second photo here shows both editions side by side, just to prove my claim that mortality (a combo of arthritis and cardiac) is the only reason for my replacing the

‘South of the Sun: Australian fairy tales for the 21st century’ (2021) is an enchanting illustrated book of fairy tales - but not for children! These are for grown-ups. Often dark, the stories visit places where things don’t end happily ever after, where a single decision can haunt you forever. There are also tales to make you laugh, with sweet revenge or delight in the world of fey magic. Nearly sold out! Australian Fairy Tale Society is considering a reprint. All the stories, lyrics and poems

‘Prince Caspian’ is one of my favourite books from childhood. I already have this edition in ‘The Chronicles of Narnia’, the legendary series by C.S. Lewis, as part of a box set along with an earlier edition that’s too worn to read now. Although this book is the fourth of seven Narnian volumes, it can be enjoyed independently as a separate novel too. When first discovering this series I did not read the books in their intended order, but still loved them all. I later re-read them chronologicall

‘Martian Time-Slip’ is a Science Fiction novel by Philip K. Dick is in the SF Masterworks series (Orion). Originally published in 1964, it entered this edition in 2011. Mars is in the grip of a megalomaniac boss with a monopoly over the water supply, while the planet’s native Bleekmen, poverty-stricken wanderers, see into the future. Yet to Manfred, an autistic youth, time seems to have stopped altogether. This paperback is in very good condition. There is just one flaw, a scuff mark on one of

‘The Literary Review’, September 2022, Issue 511, spans a range of intriguing topics in depth, from Romans to Vikings, poets to psychiatrists, hanging scrolls to glaciers. Learn about the Forbidden City, the very first Romantics and the invention of Self. I chose this edition to beam, because the cover art with its golden dragon suits my favourite combo of yellow and blue, in my support of Ukraine the threshold of democracy.

‘The West Wing’ (TV series, 1999 - 2006, USA), all seasons 1 to 7 in DVD cases, is preloved with all components complete and in great condition, discs free of any scratches, internal buttons intact and just mild scuffing on some of the external plastic casing. We watched all these episodes many years ago. Back then we’d planned to rewatch the whole thing again as the script, plot, characters, acting and direction are all top notch. However, Trump’s term toppled so many guardrails of democracy t

‘Written On Skin’ by Opus Arte is an opera (presented here on DVD blu-ray) composed by George Benjamin, who is also the conductor. Acclaimed as a ‘masterpiece’, it features a libretto by Martin Crimp, based on the legend of a troubadour Guillaume de Cabestanh that’s also told in The Decameron of Giovanni Boccaccio, set in 13th century Provence, in which an enraged husband forces his wife to unknowingly eat her lover’s heart, after which she commits suicide. Katie Mitchell is Director. The perfo

‘Noel Fielding’s Luxury Comedy’ is a DVD with enough psychedelic flair (or flares) to keep a lava lamp morphing for millennia. We first fell for this idiosyncratic comedian while watching a series called ‘The IT Crowd’, in which characters would consult him at crucial moments in his basement, where he would appear as a maven of goth-tech wizardry. We then bought a couple of DVDs of his own series, ‘The Mighty Boosh’, also fabulous. I’d like to have opened this treat too, but due to constraints

Duration: 98 minutes. This darling is sealed, and reportedly contains two discs. There is a round green sticker

‘The Blue Room’ is a CD of music by The Legendary Pink Dots, an Anglo-Dutch band whose style spans such genres as avant-garde, synth pop, neo-psychedelic, experimental, post-punk, ambient and goth rock. Critics have praised this album for its ‘dangerously disoriented electronics’, harpsichord drones, pulsing loops, grand storytelling, disarming ‘music-box reveries’, apocalyptic relationships, ‘demons of the mind’, ‘mosquito munch fandango’ (a song title but also a fun phrase to say!), vampire s

Sigur Ros is an Icelandic post-rock, slow-core ambient dream pop band, comprising singer-guitarist Jonsi Birgisson, bassist Georg Holm and keyboardist Kjartan Sveinsson. We have several CDs by them. This one is untitled, or self-titled. Its final track is my favourite, being incantatory and hypnotic. Their music is subtle, wistful, more melancholy than mellow, conjuring the sense of a frozen lake. Adjectives others have aptly applied include atmospheric, bittersweet, sentimental, sombre, noctur
