In the Department of Saturday Morning Hee (and possibly also the Department of Rude Puns Only Stv Will Appreciate), more David Byrne. Or, more accurately, the Brighton Port Authority, which is apparently a collaboration between David Byrne and Fatboy Slim. (David Byrne seems to be a recurring theme in my posts lately.

I adore E Nesbit =)

As do all right-thinking people :>. I'm hoping that people who grew up on Phoenix and the Carpet and who might not have run across the fairy tales, will be inspired thereby.

Actually, I think I have to write a paper on narrative games in Nesbit. Just because I can.

Am I to understand, sir, that you are proposing to find them somewhere illegal and download them? I am shocked. Also, intrigued.

What kind of shrubbery...?

Your lack of faith disturbs me.

[mac1235]

I am, alas, unable to supply you with a litchi shrubbery by this afternoon. Please indicate acceptable substitutes. I would, on the other hand, love to collect copies of said games. How about around 3.30-4pm?

"Melisande, or, Long and Short Division"

Definitely recall reading this one, fairly early on at Junior School, though none of the others, so maybe it was in a collected edition of fairy stories.
