Hi Kirstini, and welcome.  Can't wait to see what you cook up around 
here.

So you got the nod from Neil? Recently?  He's alive, then? And able 
to communicate?

Very interesting, indeed.

I agree with you that Grand Pre's illustrations suck. I also think 
that the guy who did the Bloomsbury children's edition has a talent 
for making people look like dorks.

All of this illustrates one of my personal gems of wisdom (feel free 
to cite me), with which I often try to encourage people. 

 Any time you fear you are not qualified to do something that you 
really want to do, just take a moment and look at who is already 
doing it.  Chances are you'll be amazed at how unqualified they are, 
too.

See you in the posts,
