What Book Is This From?

You really should know and make sure your children have read this book and seen the movie. It's essential viewing.

the movie's okay, I guess, but the book is vastly superior.

As they always are. What name did you give the Empress.

The Plate here was originally from the 1827 edition of "Magical Estrangements and Other Diversions." by Missy Ouspeck a renegade shaker who went west and married a successful Bauxite miner. The Plate itself was created by Mr. Prole, a pen name for Reg McLink. If you use a magnifying glass one can find letters that when put together spell out: "mukoh erup si evoba eht."

Glad to be of help

See, now I would believe that Laz, if I didn't already know where it came from. That is some sweetly dangerous imagination you got there. You should be designing gowns for Ga Ga.

you know, I've been thinking. this book really needs the peter jackson treatment. it's got a lot in common with LOTR: they're both awesome fantasy epics that got turned into rather mediocre movies in the 80s (or so I'm told, I never saw the LOTR cartoon). isn't it kinda time to turn this into a REAL movie? :P

Kal said...

I would go for that over the remake they are doing of 'Fright Night' - sorry, I know that is totally unrelated but it's been bugging me for days - that 'Fright Night' remake. SOOOOO unecessary.

I thought they did a great job with the 80's movie, but then I've never read the book.

But one thing's always bothered me...Falcor looks like a dog to me, not a dragon. I'm a big fan of dragons, and as a kid I never understood why they called him a dragon.

Kal said...

He was a dog. And the kid just never questioned it. "Yup, says he's a dragon, I will go with that." I never read the book either but the movie was an emotional roller coaster for me. There is alot of sad and terrible things going on in that movie for a kid to deal with.

Oh btw - thanks for the comment Sarah and welcome to the Cave.
