My Father's Dragon
So, my mom said "let's go on vacation and stay with my favorite professor's widow."
Ruth Kahn. Ruth GANNET Kahn. Author of My Father's Dragon.
Who, it also turns out, knew Ursula K. LeGuin's family, and visited them on holiday in 1936, when Ursula was like, 6 years old. I saw pictures of six-year-old Ursula K. LeGuin. She was really cute.
And she has fairyland in her backyard, with grapes and blackberries and currant bushes and winding paths. And a barn with beds and a kitchen and houses for little people (made from sheep pens. They have signs that say "post office" and "bank" and have lights inside them that turn on.
This place is SO EPIC. I'm taking SUCH pictures tomorrow.
Also, Ruth knows EVERYTHING about Everything. And grows vegetables and does tai-chi.
