In any case, we'll soon know.<br /><br />Particularly pleased to see that SELLIC SPELL will indeed be included.

The press release only mentioned one (apparently the prose). It would be great if the verse one was published as well, though!Nelsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08765254563756137957noreply@blogger.com
