![]() ![]() Seventy-five years after she published her last Little House novel, Laura Ingalls Wilder is an international icon. Rowling, Wilder created characters who sprang from the page directly into everyday life and from there into our collective consciousness. Wilder has become part of our popular culture as few children’s book authors have. References to Wilder and her work appear regularly in unexpected places-from Rose Under Fire to to the Big Bang Theory. It was set in England during World War II, an ocean away from Laura Ingalls and life in the American West.īecause there on page five was this sentence: “I can’t believe they gave me that diploma in December, like Laura Ingalls Wilder leaving school at fifteen so she could be a teacher!”1Įven when I tried, I couldn’t escape her.įew of us can.

That’s why you’re here, right? You want to become the best version of yourself. Through simple daily repetition, people have accomplished incredible things.

Meanwhile, back in New York, Chava, now known as Chava Levy, and Ahmad find each other again, performing miraculous labors, she as a champion baker who, of course, doesn’t need to sleep and he as an “iron-bound” figure in human form who works diligently, in self-imposed exile, for a Syrian immigrant tinsmith.

LaurieRose - I’m assuming based on when Eliot write it, 1925, that it has to do with the men who made it home from The Great War (WWI). ![]() Gathered on this beach of the tumid river With direct eyes, to death's other Kingdom ![]() Shape without form, shade without colour, ![]() ![]() ![]() (Captain Marvel/Shazam has his own confusing history that you can find out more about in this explainer.) This character was created in 1940 by Fawcett Comics as a reaction to the popularity of Superman. However, not Carol Danvers Captain Marvel or any character published by Marvel Comics, but the character formally known as Captain Marvel but is better known to people as Shazam. You’re in for a wild ride involving reinventions, ownership disputes, and much more.īefore we dig into Miracleman, I should discuss Captain Marvel first. If the character has recently come to your attention and you’re baffled why Neil Gaiman would write new material for him in 2023, then strap yourself in.

See, the main protagonist has some serious issues and searches for help in episodes I, highly subjectively, would have preferred to instead see as more exploration, meeting the aliens, or something else not that separated from the main plot. Is it deep or just playing with childhood trauma, relationship issues, and making fun of psychiatry. Sarcasm drips from each black humoured page and one could imagine that this is a possible future in corporate owned space habitats, planets, and solar systems. The whole system, the immense suffering on earth with the option of risking one´s life to get some grains of the immense wealth accumulated with patents found on suicide trips, exploiting anyone for the profit of some, was, is, and will be the key element of capitalistic systems Pohl wasn´t quite fond of. No free meals in neoliberal, turbo capitalistic alien artifact filled alien spaceports ![]() Kind of the same as Pohls´ cooperation with Kornbluth, The Space Merchants, with an extra layer of psychiatric mind penetration ![]() ![]() ![]() Half sisters Isabelle and Aurora are polar opposites: Isabelle is the king’s headstrong illegitimate daughter, whose sight was tithed by faeries Aurora, beautiful and sheltered, was tithed her sense of touch and voice on the same day. “With its engaging heroines and delicious prose, Spindle Fire pulled me into a richly detailed world full of intrigue and magic.” - Amy Ewing, New York Times bestselling author of the Lone City trilogy Lexa Hillyer draws the walls between dreams and reality with shimmering grace and phrases of such beauty I had to read many of them twice.” - Jodi Lynn Anderson, author of Tiger Lily ![]() “As the truths behind the faerie legends were revealed, I couldn’t turn the pages fast enough.”-Kendare Blake, author of New York Times bestselling novel Three Dark Crowns ![]() |
