The Great When is the first novel in Alan Moore's Long London series, set in 1949 London where a young bookshop employee named Dennis Knuckleyard discovers a book from a magical, parallel city called the "Great When". The synopsis follows Dennis as he tries to return the book to this fantastical London, where concepts like "Crime" are personified and strange beings exist. If he fails, both realities face dire consequences, and his journey plunges him into the city's occult underbelly alongside real and fictional characters who have their own agendas

Ethel Archer (1885-1962), the daughter of a clergyman, was born in Sussex, and expelled from school at the age of fourteen for asking questions in Scripture class. In 1908 she married the aspiring artist Eugene Wieland, and lived with him in West London. The couple made the acquaintance of Aleister Crowley, joined his A∴A∴ magical organization, and set up a publishing company called Wieland and Co., to publish Crowley’s periodical The Equinox, as well as other texts, including Archer’s first poetry collection The Whirlpool (1911). She published two other books, Phantasy and Other Poems (1930) and the occult novel The Hieroglyph (1932).
This 32-page chapbook assembles together twelve poems never collected in the author’s lifetime, which originally appeared in such places as The Equinox and The Occult Review.
