Stamp collecting is one of my favourite ways of finding space and tranquility in the clamour of everyday life. Lately I’ve been working on the Arabian Nights as a topic, partly because the stamps are lovely to look at, and partly because the history of the tales as a body of literature is fascinating.
This month I’ve put together an entry to the All About Stamps one-page display competition. Although it’s a very condensed version of the material I’ve gathered on the Arabian Nights overall, I hope it gives you a flavour of this absorbing topic, and I hope you enjoy the stamps.
