pickA book like this is why I love the #ToB so much. I never would have read this if it weren‘t for the tournament. And how glad I am I did. The tale of Mary, giving birth to rabbits, is storytelling at its best. I loved every page of it. It‘s mostly about (the ego‘s of) the surgeons and their apprentices surrounding her but in the end the story becomes hers.
