Sorry to miss seeing everybody and the book slam is fun too. I'll look out for the Hare trilogy (maybe on the dreaded Amazon?) or perhaps you could bring some to another WIO event. :0)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2429560125838989988.post-87699414935755157302017-05-17T13:19:34.398+01:002017-05-17T13:19:34.398+01:00Griselda, at last I've found someone who share...Griselda, at last I've found someone who shares my admiration for the Celestial Omnibus. So many have told me they think it's a bit daft. And yes, Achilles and the shield and th rainbow bridge image might, out of context, be Disneyish but in the story they are heroic. Are you going to the WiO AGM next week? I'll bring some old copies of the Hare trilogy to sell dead cheap at the Book Slam if anyone wants them. The Barn Owl reissue oh Hare and PoD uploads of the original eds of the other two done by the late lamented Back-to-Front, the children's arm of the old Solidus Press.Dennis Hamleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15781139870037634374noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2429560125838989988.post-13672538148406361412017-05-16T15:31:45.209+01:002017-05-16T15:31:45.209+01:00You will be much missed!

Each one has been on a widely (even wildly) different subject, whether musing on writing or books you've enjoyed (your one on New Zealand writers was an eye opener for me). Your current projects do sound intriguing though and you have every reason to trim your commitments when you have several other exciting books on the go. Thank you for these wonderful last 2 posts - inspiring children to let their imaginations roam free and create their own 'true' stories is one of the greatest gifts they can be given.<br /><br />And you too love the Celestial Omnibus! One of Forster's strangest but most enthralling stories. Doesn't it end with Achilles raising the boy on his shield? And the horses' hooves creating the rainbow bridge as they fly... Aargh snippets like these sound Disneyesque but it goes much deeper and scarier than that. Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
