Just some random notes: the illustration is by Frank C. Pape from James Branch Cabell's Figures Of Earth. Robert Nye's books are all written in the style of Thomas Urquhart's translation of Francois Rabelais...Thomas Berger is one of the few authors I have seen in the flesh..."King Arthur, who was never historical, but everything he did was true"...Fraser has written the best swashbuckling book ever, and the scripts for the old Michael York Musketeers movies that were popular in my youth...Boy In Darkness is an excised section from the Gormenghast books, recounting an adventure of Titus in the lost recesses of the castle...I looked for a copy of The Circus Of Dr. Lao for twenty-five years before I finally found one.
