An International Goose Day Feathursday
Today, September 29, is International Goose Day! Apparently International Goose Day is related to Michaelmas, which is also today, and allegedly a day in medieval times on which many people would pay their rent with a goose? Not sure about that one, but that’s the story! There is also a legend that if you eat goose on September 29 you won’t be short on cash for the following year.
These geese all come from The Snow Goose by American author and sportswriter Paul Gallico with illustrations by British ornithologist, conservationist, and painter Peter Scott, published by Michael Joseph in an edition of 750 copies signed by the author and artist printed on mould-made paper. Paul Gallico is also the author of other titles you may have heard of like The Poseidon Adventure and Mrs. Harris Goes to Paris. Sir Peter Scott helped found the World Wide Fund for Nature (WWF), came up with new ways to camouflage boats during WWII, and hosted a nature program on BBC. He also won an Olympic medal in sailing and was British Gliding Champion in 1963 and did a ton of other things (his Wikipedia page is quite interesting!).

Raskull. 2018
Photo: Michael Joseph
Raskull: ‘I’ve been travelling for seven years. I was pretty sheltered for most of my teens. I lived through stories in books, and all I wanted was my own adventure. In my early 20s, I got a job as a go-go dancer at a gay club in Boston. I would go to a local bar to drink and smoke with all the travellers. It was only a matter of time before I fell for one and hit the road. I started dreading my hair, learned how to play the ukulele, and got gifted the most amazing dog in the world’ (Direct quote from The Guardian)
