I looked at the Bodleian's copy last week and could see it would be fascinating, so it's now on my Amazon wishlist.Michelehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15888298679182871669noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14162585.post-1140383956200369012006-02-19T21:19:00.000+00:002006-02-19T21:19:00.000+00:00Keys of Middle-Earth is well-worth getting if you ...Keys of Middle-Earth is well-worth getting if you are interested in the medieval sources which lie behind Tolkien's fiction.

(Or so I gather from what I've read !) I'm just very surprised that both <I>Hogfather</I> and <I>The Wee Free Men</I> are now being made, given Terry's stated antipathy (as recently as last Spring) to having films of his books made. Still, I guess if he's offered more control and he believes the film-makers will do a good job, it's not that surprising that he should change his mind.Michelehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15888298679182871669noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14162585.post-1139528599143146382006-02-09T23:43:00.000+00:002006-02-09T23:43:00.000+00:00Interesting article on Pratchett, Michele.

It seems more and more creative people (including actors, writers, and the like) are choosing television over film for creative puruits.Kellyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15169707337312707247noreply@blogger.com
