LINKS: all sorts!
Apr. 8th, 2009 06:45 pmA collection of links, some of them related to recent posts and things of interest, some that I came across quite some time ago.
Swallows and Amazons memorobilia here!
A critical review of Diana Wynne Jones's The Game (in lieu of my thoughts which I never did write up) by a DWJ fan.
Author Hilary Mantel talks about looking for female role models in 19th century novels
with specific reference to Jo March, Katy Carr and Jane Eyre, discussiong her childish reaction to them, and some other aspects, such as the picture of contemporary London and interaction with real personages in What Katy Did Next.
A nice description of 'Remembering my best find'. I don't hink I can remember a best find so clearly, but I do know from experience that it's always worth trying even the least promising shop.
A review of the production of Daisy Pulls it Off that I saw.
Greyladies a new publishing venture that's just registered on me radar - Girls Gone By's older sister? - that I'm definitely interested in.
Wikipedia's potted history of Josephine Elder.
ETA: I nearly forgot, Happy Easter!
