About this postcard: It's Euphrosyne of Polotsk. Predlava was born between 1101 and 1104 into Rurik noble family, members of which were the dukes of the principality of Polotsk, in what is modern day Belarus. She refused all proposals of marriage and without her parents' knowledge, ran away to the convent. She became a nun and took the name Euphosyne. She began to live near the Sophia Cathedral, where she spent her time copying books.

Dancing Thistles, Sophie Appleton, 2011
I love books where the blurb shouts so-and-so inherits an old house! I probably don't mind what genre the book is, as long as the heroine sets to make the house beautiful again. One of my favorite books is Thornyhold by Mary Stewart, in which Cilly inherits her cousin's house and book of recipes and spells - white magic - and has to take up her place in the local community. Exploring a house makes me very happy! Especially if there's lots of detail and the house needs to be loved. Lol, I think I am going to start a list on GR! Love, Jodie

Self-portrait: Karolina Pieton
I want to tell you about my favourite Polish series of books: The Witcher by Andrej Sapkowski. He has created a cycle of tales based on the world of the Witcher, which was published in fantasy literary magazine "Fantastylia", comprising 3 collections of short stories and 5 novels. The main character is Geralt, a mutant who has been trained since childhood to hunt down an destroy monsters for the money. Against all appearances he's very sensitive and governed by knightly code. Computer games of The Witcher created by CD Project Red are based on this series. I'm so happy that these books have been adapted by Netflix. Have you read this series of books? With best wishes. 7/5/17

I loved you, and that love, to die refusing, may still - who Knows! - be smouldering in my breast. Pray be not pained - believe me of my choosing I'd never have you troubled or distressed. I loved you mutely, hopelessly and truly, with shy yet fervent tenderness aglow, Mine was a jealous passion and unruly...My God grant that another 'll love you so!
