Yes! The magic is in the 1-to-1 connection between writer and reader. And it's even more amazing when we access the world of someone from before our time.
For what it's worth, an anecdote rather than a statistic, I found out about your book from my wife, who emailed me a link from the Guardian Bookshop, probably because she saw your David Bowie piece, which I had somehow missed even though I love David Bowie and was looking at The Guardian that day. All of which is to say, there's also a lot of magic in how we find the books that move us.
P.S. I forgot to say I love the image of turtles all the way up. That is magic of the highest order!

Looking forward to your next Magic Grow Capsule!
Love this, and thank you for the Robert Graves poem, which I will print and pin to my wall ♥️
