The Book Lover's

The perfect gift for fans of classic novels, crafting and puns. 'There is no gate, no lock, no bolt that you can set upon the freedom of my glue gun.' This crafting celebration of literary classics will transport you and your scissors far from your kitchen table: allow your Mod Podge to smooth your way into the Gilded Age with 'The Decoupage of Innocence', or your craft knife to help you conceal an illicit eBook with 'Lady Chatterley's Kindle Cover'. Or simply create the perfect picnic accessory, to be enjoyed alongside some ginger beer with 'Five Go to Smuggler's Cake Topper'. From a shelf made of books to paper flowers, Christmas wreaths to table decorations, A Loom of One's Own is a pun-filled celebration of crafting and writing that will appeal to book lovers or anyone who owns a glue gun.

For fans of Little Women, The Chronicles of Narnia, A Christmas Carol, Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, and more, a literature-inspired cookbook for voracious readers during the festive holiday season.

Hanan Townshend is an acclaimed film composer based in Seattle, Washington. Townshend has composed music for numerous feature films, docs, commercials and tv shows, including frequent collaborations with Palme d’Or winning director Terrence Malick and three time Oscar-winning DP/director Emmanuel “Chivo” Lubezki. He has scored over a dozen feature films and written music for numerous domestic and international commercials for companies such as Apple, Volvo, Guinness and American Express.Townshend pulls very deeply from his upbringing in rural New Zealand living up on the ocean – his music is a reflection of the poetic soundscapes of his home country, the eager patterns of popular music, and the refinement of his studies in art composition. Townshend has a penchant for approaching film music from a less conventional perspective and producing emotional work that leaves the listener feeling something deeply.
