Of course, as he says, he'll find lots of books he could have used now that his thesis is finished. It does sound odd & I'm not as big a fan of fantasy as Simon but let me know if you find a copy.lynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04509400868331534237noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3020849054403226268.post-65486895449243330492013-11-03T15:20:29.531+11:002013-11-03T15:20:29.531+11:00Wonderful, moving poem, but I have to say I was to...Wonderful, moving poem, but I have to say I was totally distracted by the cat possessed by Nero and I rushed straight off to google it. The first thing to pop up was this review from The Spectator in 1932 (http://archive.spectator.co.uk/article/1st-october-1932/38/the-cat-who-saw-god-by-anna-gordon-keown-davies): "Emperor into Cat is the latest variant upon the theme of Lady into Fox, and by no means the most convincing. Miss Keown's book is little to our taste, erring often upon the side of archness and a mock profundity ; but she has an original mind, and, however she may misuse her gift, she is obviously a born writer." *Ouch*. That will not stop me tracking it down, obviously. skiourophilehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08200877834536477400noreply@blogger.com
