I believe Johnny has a post planned for us in the morning, but here’s a few quick notes from me.
- I’ve discovered a blog I had not seen before – Shell Cottage, run by BabyBlue who is simultaneously a Harry Potter and Bob Dylan fan, which is great (I’m going to see Dylan for the 5th time next month).
- I’ve added a George MacDonald section to the Store of Gryffindor. I’ve recently finished The Light Princess and am starting a journey through The Princess and the Goblin, followed by The Princess and the Curdie. Included in the MacDonald portion of the store is C.S. Lewis’s work on George MacDonald (which is on my very long “to read” list).
- I’ve also added a Charles Dickens section.
- If you’re a fan of alliteration, like I am, check out Tolkien’s translation of Sir Gawain and the Green Knight. It’s a beautiful story, poetically told, of a flawed hero.
- In the PubCast to appear this upcoming weekend, we’ll be entering the “Defense Against the Harry Haters” classroom for a quick lesson.

Travis, I know you’re really busy, but the one book for the C.S. Lewis store you absolutely have to have is Till We Have Faces. Aside from Lewis saying it was his best book, it’s a wonderful retelling of a Greek myth casting it into Christian overtones. I imagine the Harry haters reading it & saying Lewis is promoting paganism!
revgeorge, yes, it’s in the C.S. Lewis store!
Oops, sorry, I must’ve missed it when I ran through there. Must not have seen all the nooks & crannies. Sorry to bother you.
No bother at all! And thanks for the recommendation. It’s one Lewis work I have not read (my wife read it and enjoyed it).
Travis, thank you! I wrote a bit over at ShellCottage, but I’m also ZoeRose that posts at HogwartsProfessor and took the B&N Course led by John Granger. I am just thrilled to find out you are a Bob Dylan fan. I have tickets for later this month in Columbia, MD. I’m a long-time fan of your podcast!

Hi! I’ve never commented before on this site, but I have loved the podcasts. I’m a big George McDonald fan and was pleased to hear you mention him in the last podcast, as well as list some of his works on your site. Thanks!
