I have a paperback book - "Narnia Solo Games #4 The Lost Crowns of Cair Paravel"
by Gerald Lientz, from 1988. It is yellowing and has some dog-eared pages.

If anyone collects these or is interested, I can send it to you. Otherwise, it's
going to Goodwill, as I need to make some space on my shelves.

Thanks,
Mariette

I'd be interested, but you shd be warned that it's quite the collector's item.
If it's the one I'm thinking of, the publisher didn't bother to get permission
from the estate before releasing it, so it didn't stay on shelves long.

Narnia choose-your-own-adventure?  I can see it now:

You have passed through the wardrobe and arrived at the lamp-post when a faun
approaches you, says "Goodness gracious me!" and drops all his packages.  Do
you:

1) Say "Good evening" and politely introduce yourself?
2) Grab as many packages as you can and run?
3) Offer him some Turkish delight?

Heh-heh.  I immediately thought of Robot Chicken's Narnia spoof. Disturbing but

CFP: Sequential Art, Graphic Novels, and Comics in Education
Edited by Robert G. Weiner and Carrye Syma Texas Tech University Library
In recent years the use of graphic novels, comics, and sequential art in
education has exploded. This is due not only to the boom in superhero
movies that are based on comic book characters, but also to the wide
literary range that graphic novels now have. There are now literally
hundreds of college and university courses all over the world that are
using graphic novels in their curriculum. The days when comics were just
seen as children’s trash, with no redeeming literary or educational value,
are hopefully behind us. Contrary to the idea that comics “dumb” down
material, it takes both sides of the brain to read and interpret
sequential art stories: the right side to interpret the pictures and the
left side to understand the narrative text. Our goal with this collection
is to provide the educator and scholar with a collection of essays that
show how graphic novels and comics are being used in the classroom today,
as well as some historical pieces that detail how the educational fields
often have and have had a “rocky” relationship with the use of comics in
educational settings. We want both theoretical and practical essays
showing how sequential art can be and is being used to teach and
illustrate concepts and ideas. We are especially keen on pieces
related to higher education, military and government uses of comics to
educate, but all aspects of comics and education are under consideration.
In addition, we would like to have educators from a wide spectrum of
the educational fields from K-12, to undergraduate and graduate
educational levels. Those using sequential art in adult education and
pre-school are encouraged.

Some possible questions/ideas that could be addressed include:
-The Military’s use of comics to teach.
-Graphic Novels and comics in library science education.
-How relationships can be understood through the use of graphic novels in
human science education.
-Teaching mathematical concepts using graphic narrative.
-Grade school use of comics.
-Middle school use of comics.
-High school use of sequential art (say something like Maus to teach the
Holocaust).
-Comics and Film to teach about blockbuster cinema.
-Philosophical issues raised by graphic novels (The Watchmen in a
philosophy class about ethics).
-Biological and scientific concepts using graphic novels.
-The use of mainstream superhero stories in the classroom.
-Superman, Batman, Spider-Man to further understand the concept of the
hero Mythology (i.e., Odysseys, Hercules etc.).
-Graphic Novels and history, how effective a tool is the graphic novel in
teaching a historical concept?
-Sequential art in teaching foreign language or English as a second language.
-Comics in literacy and adult education programs.
-Graduate courses using graphic novels.
-The History of sequential art in education.
-Medical education using comics

Please send 200 word abstracts by January 15th 2011 to Rob Weiner
Rob.weiner@... Final papers will be due February 28th 2011. No
exceptions. Please note the submission of an essay does NOT necessarily
mean publication in the volume. Essays will be going through a rigorous
peer review process and we have asked a number of scholars to serve in
this capacity. We are striving to put together as an excellent collection
with diverse viewpoints covering all aspects of comics and education.
Authors are also expected to follow the editor’s style guide and be
willing to have their work edited.

Thank you

I wish! Amazon has 11 copies starting at $1.95.

You can certainly have it if you like. Possibly I can manage to get to a Mithlond meeting that you're going to.

I have a few of those (all? not sure). I thought they were pretty good.
The authors make a serious attempt to include a spiritual dimension
similar to that of the original works. They are new plots with original
human characters from our world, not Lewis's characters.  Didn't know
they were published without the permission of the estate -- interesting.

Has anyone read The Control of Language: A Critical Approach to Reading and Writing by Alec King and Martin Ketley or The Reading and Writing of English by E. G. Biaggini?  You're probably saying, "Huh, what's that got to do with the Inklings?"  The first book is the one referred to in Lewis's The Abolition of Man as The Green Book by Gaius and Titius and the second book, not given a name in The Abolition of Man, is the one supposedly written by Orbilius.  We're reading The Abolition of Man in Knossos (the Washington, D.C. area Mythopoeic group) for November, so I decided it would be nice to read those books along with it.  They are what inspired Lewis to write The Abolition of Man because he found the attitudes expressed in them to be so absurd.  Has anyone read them and wish to comment on them?

Greetings!

And welcome to my newsletter for September, 2010! Please feel free to forward
this to anyone you think would be interested in keeping up with me! To receive
these newsletters regularly, please drop me an email or subscribe online from my
website (http://www.JefMurray.com ) or at:
http://groups.google.com/group/Mystical_Realms . Notices of events and items of
interest are at the bottom of this email.


Pitchers ==============

I have posted three new painting images on my website. These are a currently
unnamed work that will be the cover image for a book that I am illustrating,
plus "Radagast", and "Helm's Deep". You can see all of these by going to
http://www.JefMurray.com and clicking on the "Newest Works" button on the top of
the page.

In addition to these works, I've added a few new graphite sketch images. These
include the new sketch of Reepicheep and of Lucy and the Spellbook, both from
C.S. Lewis' "The Voyage of the Dawn Treader".  I've also included additional
interior illustrations from "The Magic Ring".

As always, these and all of the works in my online galleries are available as
signed and numbered limited-edition Giclee prints.

Do let me know how these new images strike you!


Ponderings ==============

Scudding September days dawn; trouble trembles tree leaves and tumbles parched
pavements. We await quicksilver storms to quench hot horizons. Forthwith shall
foliage fold and flail with tempest's trumpet; but for now all is fallish folly.
Steam heat mirages mete….

Muscadines shine in netted nests. I pick pocket purple plums and perfume
passersby with pithy scent. Fermented fantasies they'll swell; bubbling brews
tall tales will tell. Fearlessly we'll flay fell fictions and dark dreams
dispel.

But for now, the rout of ripening reigns; all is fizzing in falsetto. But bloom
is broken; doom has spoken and rinds rattle, hinds huddle. Feast well, doughty
dears, for all is passing… passing… passing…. All that's lasting soothes and
snuffs our fears, but Love alone safeguards these golden years.


Prospects ===================

• Our latest grand exhibition at Moreton in Marsh, "The Edge of the Wild", is
over and was a great success. We had mixed cool and rainy days followed by mild
sunny weather. Every windowbox was filled with begonias and  pansies, and the
corn fields were golden and glowing. Many thanks to all of the folk who made our
trip over so special.

• A new EWTN TV special is being prepared on J.R.R. Tolkien. Featuring Joseph
Pearce, this production will also include dozens of my illustrations of
Tolkien's world. Stay tuned for details on when this will air….

• The online SF Fanzine "Starship Sofa", Volume 1 of which was a winner of a
2010 Hugo Award, is preparing to release Volume 2 on October 10, 2010. I was
privileged to illustrate a tale that will be included, written by Jason Sanford,
entitled " Into the Depths of Illuminated Seas". It is a surpassingly strange
tale about pirates and a lass who can foretell the deaths of all of the sailors
in her port town. You can learn more about this Fanzine at
http://www.starshipsofa.com/ .

• Illustrator-signed editions of The Magic Ring: Deluxe Illustrated Edition, by
the Baron de la Motte Fouqué, is now  available to folks in the U.S., Canada,
and the UK. You can purchase directly from my website at www.JefMurray.com
(click on the "Books" button on the left of the page). I was privileged to have
been asked to develop the cover and interior illustrations for this new edition,
and it is one that finally presents this tale in a format in keeping with its
magical and epic themes. Described as a cross between "The Lord of the Rings"
and "Ivanhoe", this is a story that will keep you on the edge of your seat, and
one that will appeal to all ages of folk who love chivalry, enchantment, and
romance. You can keep up to date on the book's reception on the Facebook page
entitled "The Magic Ring", or at Valancourt's website.

• For folks interested in original paintings and sketches or prints of my work,
please take a look at the ADC Art and Books online catalog at
www.adcbooks.co.uk. It features Tolkien-themed works by Ted Nasmith, Ruth Lacon,
Peter Pracownik, and myself. In addition, you'll find collectible items (e.g.
Black & White Ogre Country: The Lost Tales of Hilary Tolkien) and rare books
featured in the catalog and on the website.

I complained recently that the episode "Allegory of Love" of the TV program called Lewis or Inspector Lewis didn't catch the spirit of Oxford for my taste but just annoyed me.  On the other hand, the program mentioned below (a 1968 BBC documentary about Tolkien) does make me feel nostalgic for Oxford.  This is sort of strange, I guess.  Somehow a 1968 TV show reflects my feelings about the time I've spent in Oxford (three months or so total between 1987 and 2005) better than a 2009 TV show does.

Hi, Jason.
 
If no one else wants the paranormal romances, I'm willing to look at them.  If they're as bad as the last ones, though, they won't get reviewed.  (I couldn't even finish reading the last ones, they were that bad.)
 
So I will take:
    J.K. Beck. When Blood Calls (Bantam, 2010). [Urban / paranormal romance]
    Carolyn Crane. Double Cross (Ballantine, 2010). [Urban / paranormal fantasy-noir]
    Diana Gabaldon. The Exile: An Outlander Graphic Novel (Del Rey, 2010). [Graphic novel / historical fantasy]  (I'm a comic book geek and Gabaldon is well-known name, although I've never  read her stuff.)
 
I already own and have read (and recommend) the Kelley Armstrong. Frostbitten (Bantam, 2010). [Paranormal romance / urban fantasy] so I won't take that.  I love Kelley Armstrong, but this is a novel about established characters in her Women of the Otherworld series.  It's the second or third novel featuring Elena, the female werewolf. I'm not sure how good it would work as an intro to the series so I wouldn't review it.  (This is sometimes the problem with the other Mythprint review books as well.)
 
Snail mail:
         Berni Phillips
         1663 Albatross Drive
         Sunnyvale, CA 94087
 
If you're sending stuff to David, too, they can be combined if that's easier.
 
I also just received an ARC of Passion Play, a first novel by Beth Bernobich which is dedicated to Sherwood.  If that's good (and appropriate for Mythprint), I will review it.
 
Regards,
Berni

One was supposedly from me, but I didn’t respond to the message at all.  I thought I had accidentally clicked on something until I saw the second recall message.

Ignore it. Don't open the file.

Some email programs offer a feature where the sender can "recall" a message *after* it has been sent. Compatible email programs will then "return" the message to the sender *before* the recipient has ever seen it. The problem is that many email applications these days (particularly web-based email) do not support this feature. Even when they do, it is common for the recipient to have already seen the message before the sender has requested it be "recalled". As a result, a "recall failure" message is generated and sent automatically. Bottom line, as Joan says, you can ignore these, but I thought it might be helpful to explain *what* they are. In this particular case, Berni meant to email only me but accidentally replied to the entire Listserv instead (no harm done), She tried to recall the message, so as not to bother everybody. Of course, due to the vagaries of technology, the exact opposite result was achieved. ;)p

Best,
Jason

Wendell, I assume it's folks who read Yahoo! Groups through their email and they
*responded to the email*, thinking it was from Jason and not from the group -
therefore, their emails were posted to the group and not sent privately to
Jason. Upon realizing this, they tried to recall the message and were unable.
"winmail.dat" is some weird attachment that happens with certain email messages;
it's not real content.

When responding by email to Yahoo! Groups, that's also when the weird garbage
characters get uploaded....

Subject: Tolkien Studies 7 -- Mythprint Review Copy Available
visualweasel
Send Email Send Email
 
WVUP has very kindly sent me a review copy of the newest issue of Tolkien Studies. Because of the demand this is likely to generate, I'm going to handle it a little differently from other review copies. Rather than first-come, first-served, I want to hear from anyone and everyone interested in reviewing the new Tolkien Studies for Mythprint. It's the biggest volume yet, so I need to feel comfortable that the person I give it to is up to the task of writing a review that is solid, knowledgeable, and thorough (as thorough as the limited space in Mythprint allows). I'm prepared to make room for 1,500 words, which is about the upper limit possible for items in the newsletter (I normally don't like to go over 1,000).

So, if you want it, let me hear from you!

Best,
Jason

Hi,

I have my own copy so I wondered if you'd be interested in additional reviews of individual contributions?

Cheers,

Hello everyone!

If you are a fan of the Harry Potter films, I've made several updates to my blog
recently that may be of interest to you. I've got the trailer for Michael Ward's
The Narnia Code, the new trailer for Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part
One, a post about the Deathly Hallows/Grail Hallows, and more at
http://phoenixweasley.wordpress.com.

If any of you are on Twitter you can find me at http://twitter.com/DeniseRoper.
if you follow me, I'll follow you back. :) If you are new to Twitter, look at
all of the Lewis, Tolkien, and Rowling fans, organizations, and webmasters that
I'm following and add them to the list of people you are following. You can
unfollow the ones you don't like or block spammers very easily.

Fellow author and blogger J. W. Braun has a review of the The Lord of the Rings
Complete Recordings Annotated Scores at http://jwbraun.com/blog/?p=994#more-994
with links to some free downloads.

I think that sharing Twitter (or Facebook) information is a good idea. Mine
related to fandom are:

@ftlpublications (for discussions about books in general and my books in
particular)

@JoanMarieVerba (my author and social media management account)

I'm also on Facebook (with 3 fan pages), and LinkedIn.

Joan

P. S. I also have a @JoanWeightCoach account for health issues.
