And Now For Something Completely Different

Well, not completely different. We'll still be working our way through a book...

I'm still on the fence about doing the Prologue to Canterbury Tales--mostly because finding a translation I like in the public domain is gonna kill me. (I got spoiled using that sterling one when writing curriculum.)

Regardless the Chaucer drama, there will be Flatland!

O yes.

There will be.

Narrated by my very own Dad. Ain't he a trooper. He also has a lovely baritone, so I think you'll find it soothing. Actually, come to think of it, he read Roughing it and Ben Franklin's Autobiography to us before I turned 13--and I liked and remembered those books, so you have to figure he's pretty good.

Plus he has a beard like Pa Ingalls, so how can you go wrong, eh?

Alice in Wonderland is tabled for now--all who wrote in agreed that the language play is too visual (like The Phantom Tollbooth) for you to really hear the jokes. There was a suggestion for The Secret Garden after Flatland...and I have to say...I'm intrigued.  I think it's down to that or Connecticut Yankee.
