"Peace and freedom, do you say? The north would have known them little but for us. What roads would any dare to travel, what safety would there be in quiet lands, or in the homes of simple men at night, if the Rangers were asleep..?"

Sooooo,,, I got this book because it looked really really cute and I felt like the author really understood gremlincore/goblincore
And not in the instagram an tiktok washed out way ?
It seems to talk about accepting body and mind differences and to learn to love the "ugly" parts of nature.
I'll report back on it
Here's what the synopsis had to say:
"Embrace your inner goblin! Learn to decorate, dress, craft, forage, and live according to the goblin principles of community, diversity, and joyful mess.Do you ever feel strange, gross, chaotic, underappreciated, or like you don’t quite fit in? Great news: you might be a goblin! That means your imperfections and idiosyncrasies are the most awesome things about you, and you can build a more harmonious life by accepting and honoring them—taking inspiration from the frogs, fungi, moss, rocks, and dirt that goblins love.Goblin Mode includes life advice for celebrating physical and mental diversity, rejecting prejudice, and generally hanging on to a little joy. Can a mushroom give you fashion tips? Can a snail teach you to be a happier person? You bet they can—and in this book you’ll also learn to:
Create a moss garden for your lair
Grow and use medicinal plants
Forage for berries (even in the city)
Mend your cozy sweaters
Display your cool rock collection
And more!
Featuring 25 whimsical illustrations by Marian Churchland, Goblin Mode will help you rethink your relationship with your self, your home, your community, and the earth."

Choose a subtly magical item for your adventure:
A sword that never chips or grows blunt
A flint and steel that works first try every time
Boots that are always comfortable, and never fall apart
Socks that never get wet
A cloak that is always the perfect temperature
A bag that can fit a little more than it reasonably should be able to
Arrows that can never be lost or broken
A purse that can never be stolen
A compass that points to the nearest source of drinkable water
