I read this quote attributed to you, but I can’t find what book or story it’s from. It sounds like something you’d write, but nothing I can find listing it’s text-source has made me skeptical. Can you help me place it?
“It’s not that they’re small, the fair folk. Especially not the queen of them all, Mab of the flashing eyes and the slow smile with lips that can conjure your heart under the hills for a hundred years. It’s not that they’re small. It’s that we’re so far away.”
It's pretty obscure -- it was from a set of very short stories I wrote to accompany Dave McKean postage stamps in the UK. It was reprinted (or printed if you didn't have the Royal Mail Fantasy Stamps booklet) in the Neil Gaiman Reader.
I'm already in the mood for Autumn, my favorite season of the year.

Just ridiculous, half of those books are on required reading lists for highschool/college level English literature classes.
The sign of high quality is the fact the book was banned by the government. Trash literature NEVER EVER had any troubles with the law.
This would be great for a garden.

They were always walking away from him. But he never seemed able to walk away from them.
This is so cool, imagine if you were playing a rogue. I can't think of a more fitting way to roll skill checks.
How does the lock dice work?
Sorry this took a minute to respond to, things have been nuts over here...
Okay! So, it’s actually a very simple design! The whole thing comes in two parts, like this:
On the left is the lock-shaped housing, on the right is the lockpick, which has all the numbers 1-20 arranged around the outer edge of the disc. The bottom of the lockpick disc comes to a point, like a spinning top, which is exactly what it is.
You thread the lock over the pick so the pick emerges from the keyhole in the lock, like this:
Now your lockpick die is all set. When it’s time to do a skill check, you hold the lock down with one hand for stability, and you twirl the lockpick with the other like a spinning top. After a moment, use your finger to nock the lockpick firmly down and reveal the result of your “roll”.
The window above the keyhole shows the number. In this case, I “rolled” an 18.
From behind, you can see the disc has teeth all around the edge, and there’s a point at the bottom of the lock that will catch between those teeth when you nock the pick to ensure it lands properly on one number instead of coming up between them.
And that’s how the lock-and-pick d20 works!
I would really like to own all of these as well.
