Why Sybilline Books?

Well, the obvious reason is that my name is Sybille. I've even been to Cumae and sat in the cave where supposedly the original Sibyl of Cumae sat and told people what to expect from their future... I've always liked my name and that it actually meant something. Sibyl is in fact a title rather than a name and means "prophetess".

I looked up my name on Wikipedia and found all that info about the Sibylline books:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sibylline_Books

It sounded intriguing and considering that I illustrate and write books (for children mainly) I thought it was good title for this blog. It also has something mysterious, which I liked.

There. :-)
