First, please allow me to apologize for not publishing a series entry last Friday. It was completely my own fault. I knew I was going on vacation last week, and figured that, since any time I had on the computer would be limited, that I would personally write an entry for the week at some point. Did not happen. So, this week, I am publishing that which I had intended to publish last week.
By the way, I am looking for folks interested in writing an entry in this series; contact me to be added to the calendar.
Before Tolkien, Lewis, Alexander, Homer, Vergil, Baum, Peake, the Icelandic eddas and the rest, there was D'Aulaire (or more properly, were the D'Aulaires). I have spent much of my life wandering the roads of internal imagination, becoming a party to what I was reading, rather than an observer. I owe that to this wondrous couple.
