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?

yeah, so take it as a minor prod... *nag*!!  :)

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

"The first law for the historian is that he shall never dare utter an untruth.
The second is that he shall suppress nothing that is true. Moreover, there shall
be no suspicion of partiality in his writing, or of malice." Marcus Tullius
Cicero, De Oratore, II.XV,62

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.

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.

Greetings!

bernip would like to recall the message, "[mythsoc] Mythprint: Books

Ignore it. Don't open the file.

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....

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.

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