Content note: discussion of suicidal thoughts in the What Would Snufkin do part of the podcast
This book splits three ways on Midsummer Eve: Snufkin is enacting revenge on a Park Keeper, Moomintroll and the Snork Maiden are having a party with a Fillyjonk, and the rest of our crew are still aboard the floating theatre.
There's so much about theatre in this book: a play within a play, a lion being played by two beavers, a disastrous dress rehearsal and happy endings all round.
We talk about the effects of responsibility on Snufkin (spoiler: he hates it) and there's some light prison abolitionism.
It's a banger. You should definitely read this one.
Our Spirits this week are Wyrd Sisters by Terry Pratchett, How It Ends and Wizard Team, a black fantasy podcast from Black Nerds Create.
