By the way, what do Sherlockians say?


eliza doolittle cover

The "Sherlockians and Doyleans" say THE STRANGE CASE OF ELIZA DOOLITTLE by Timothy Miller, "is an imaginative mix of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, George Bernard Shaw, and Robert Louis Stevenson in a nicely-written story that offers some dramatic surprises."


Ursula LeGuin

 
A favorite quote:

Ursula LeGuin at desk"The shadow is the other side of our psyche, the dark brother of the conscious mind. It is Cain, Caliban. Frankenstein's monster. Mr. Hyde. It is Vergil who guided Dante through hell, Gilgamesh's friend Enkidu, Frodo's enemy Gollum. It is the Doppelganger. It is Mowgli's Grey Brother; the werewolf; the wolf, the bear, the tiger of a thousand folktales; it is the serpent, Lucifer."

-- Ursula LeGuin
