Dedicated to my father, Colin Websdale,
a great dad and a great lover of books.
Rebirth us with Wisdom, as
we are knitted once again
back into wholeness.
– From ‘Ariadne’s Blessing’, Janet Bristow, 1998
Others also there are who perished unknown; their sacrifice is not
forgotten, and their names, though lost to us, are written in the
Books of God.
