Further details
Hannah Rose Thomas, a student of Arabic and history who became a portrait artist, and works in many humanitarian projects including organising art projects for refugees, donates the concept of getting lost. She offers this because it is a way of reconnecting with the world.
Alasdair Beckett-King, a stand-up comedian, an investigator of forgotten lore, and author of a murder mystery for children, provides The Red Book Of Appin, which is ever a spell book containing unknown wisdoms from the realms of Hell, or it is a guide to breeding cattle.
