Spring Equinox Offers


" `Come, we shall have some fun now!' thought Alice. `I'm glad
they've begun asking riddles. --I believe I can guess that, ' she
added aloud.
`Do you mean that you think you can find out the answer to it?'
said the March Hare.
`Exactly so, ' said Alice.
`Then you should say what you mean, ' the March Hare went on.
`I do, ' Alice hastily replied; `at least--at least I mean what I
say--that's the same thing, you know. '
`Not the same thing a bit!' said the Hatter. `You might just as
well say that "I see what I eat" is the same thing as "I eat what I
see"!'
`You might just as well say, ' added the March Hare, `that "I like
what I get" is the same thing as "I get what I like"!'
`You might just as well say, ' added the Dormouse, who seemed to be
talking in his sleep, `that "I breathe when I sleep" is the same thing
as "I sleep when I breathe"!'
(Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, Lewis Carroll)

"Mad as March Hare" as a saying has been around since the 16th century - but no doubt it would have been clear to anyone observing hares around this time of the year that they are behaving a little crazy. We like to do our own little bits of crazy too, so in celebration of the coming of Spring, and of the Equinox - we have decided to offer the following books on our website at very special prices - for details see individual listings:
