Ain't it purty? My Hellboy bag from www.forbiddenplanet.co.uk . It arrived last night - along with a decadent buffet of new books from Little Brown, Oxford University Press and Ebury Books.

Needless to say, I am a spoilt geeky brat! Wait until tomorrow when my Beedle arrives - you will be able to hear the supersonic squeeling thousands of miles away.
