When I googled it I realised - "A Child's Christmas in Wales" was once in a Readers Digest that I saw. I was young and thought the manner of writing was very strange. Later I read Tom Robbins and never looked back. Had you quoted "Now as I was young and easy under the apple boughs" I'd have had no trouble.

"Now this is the law of the jungle, as old and as true as the sky And the wolf that shall keep it may prosper, but the wolf that shall break it must die." No prizes for recognising Kipling, but a question: can you name two other poems that begin with: "This is the law of ..." both with the same metre as the Kipling poem. You will surely know the poets.

Hopefully I'm not 'losing' it! Yes - I called them last week and I have to firm up some details this week. That part of it is under control. My main concern at the moment is the lack of interest compared to the Seminar in 2007. We need another movie! :-) Still, there's quite some time before August so we shall see! At worst it will be an intimate Seminar amongst friends. Memmingen! It was a long time ago but Merrie and I had half a day here. To be honest I don't recall much, except for a fine bratwurst sausage I had for lunch!

Of course Jessica got hit by a ship before she started her voyage but so far she hadn't encountered any other shipping, which might account for the following entry on her blog: "for the first time in quite a while the AIS alarm went off yesterday, warning me of an approaching ship. Our paths looked set to pass pretty close and as it was a lovely clear day and I didn't happen to be sleeping at the time, I actually welcomed a bit of excitement. I pulled the washing down, brushed my hair and turned the stereo down in anticipation, so was a bit disappointed when they ended up passing too far off for me to make out the crew." Oh dear!

There's no moderation on this list .. apart from the restrictions on some attachments & total post size as mentioned in the welcome email. Discussions here usually start on a Tolkien theme and then often wander off into wild and woolly territories that're totally unrelated. :) You can browse the list archives back to when we moved from googlegroups and set up our own mail list. Just click on the mail-list button on the tolharndor.org website and then "list archives". Things are quiet this month ... but usually it's busier. :) The Hobbit was my first introduction ... when I was in my early teens in high school. It was one of the recommended texts .. the teacher said she was not going to use it since it was 'rubbish'... and since I didn't have a high opinion of her opinion, I went and read it. Oh, and the texts she chose ... definitely rubbish! :) That was a few decades ago. :) Yikes!!! cheers, David > Hi Leon, > > You're at Sydney uni doing a thesis on ravens in Old Norse lit in Religious > Studies?

I think of Kate Forsyth who has several times in my presence (and probably a few more in my absence) told of how she first read LotR when she was 6 and accidentally turned over two pages at a time, thereby missing the page on which the destruction of the Ring was described. If I ever find a Kate Forsyth book that has a pivotal action on one page near the end I may make up a similar story.

He couldn't pronounce "anticipation" (let alone spell it). Incidentally did you know that Winnie the Pooh was bought at Harrods in 1920? --- On Sat, 27/3/10, Jeff Lynch wrote: Too true Ted ...but one has thought of that before one begins, there is befores, durings and afterwards....always. jeff From mlk at activ8.net.au Sat Mar 27 19:40:01 2010 From: mlk at activ8.net.au (Michael Kennedy) Date: Sat, 27 Mar 2010 19:40:01 +1100 Subject: [TolHarndor] Anyone hear Emma Ayres at 7.10 am this morning?

One of them is JRR Tolkien: Master of the Rings. The producers make a point of saying that they have no affiliation to the Tolkien Estate - its almost a selling point. The other one I have is the National Geographic: 'Beyond the Movie'. But by far the most interesting one is 'JRRT - a Film Portrait of JRR Tolkien'. It was completely endorsed by his children, and they all appear in it. It's narrated by Judi Dench and runs for nearly two hours. Unfortunately, I only have a VHS copy of this one.
