I've been good!
It's slashy, but more sweet than smoking.
I like Wordsworth. I often go through The Prelude for dark ideas.
That sounds like a really fun idea.
Sweet slash is always good.
I'm doing a 12 days of Christmas type thing for Mr. K. It's going to be small stuff but I'm still having a hard time figuring out what to get him.
Um, yep!
I'm the magic Winter Book Fairy who comes and gives books to all the good boys and girls.
Yeah, yeah, legal stuff. I would, if you were truly interested, contact some of the university presses that usually print this kind of thing, and see what they could tell you about it.
I don't know how your copyright laws work, or how your public domain laws work, but some of this might also depend on those factors.
If I wanted to translate Frankenstein into Klingon or Bantu or something, those rights are in the public domain.
Not to be a party pooper, but it's not that easy. .
Kitteh AND Coffeeh!
I didn't really think it was, which was why I suggested contacting people first.
I just forgot you were people.
Er, you know what I mean.
I want to answer that with another Friends quote.
"Joey, we always know what you mean."
\That is where I hide things (including two hundred Transformer comics I bought recently and have still to read).
Well, boo. We have some wonderful poets and no one knows about them.
Doing well. Caroling in Old Town this evening which is one of my favorite gigs.
So how are y'all?

wow. Who knew how fast $400 would fly away on Amazon, if you're buying gifts for your children? Just wow. I got poor (more poor) in record time!

Uuuugh... Worst piece of self-aggrandising tripe I've ever read. It made me not want to read anything anything else he wrote, to be sure. And then I had to edit the audio we recorded a couple of years ago. I much preferred when we did Tennyson. *nods*
Well, I was planning on posting it to my blog for my birthday. So I'll let the book fairy know when that happens.
Partridges are small birds.
I'm not going to be like all these other people andliepretend.
I was definitely not good. Least, not the way you mean.
Do I get something for being honest?
I'll have to actually do this Book Fairy thing, won't I?
Unless you want them to strip you of your wings.
pft... silly humans.... expecting fairies to work for free. Does the tooth fairy not scare people?
Do you even THINK about what she does with those teeth? I've been to her house. You dont wanna know.

Those aren't something to hide, they're something to hide from!
Another poster after my own heart! Long live Tennyson, man... And my only encounter with Wordsworth, that thing about wandering lonely as a cloud, turned me off his work almost completely.
All moveables of wonder, from all parts,
Are here--Albinos, painted Indians, Dwarfs,
The Horse of knowledge, and the learned Pig,
The Stone-eater, the man that swallows fire,
Giants, Ventriloquists, the Invisible Girl,
The Bust that speaks and moves its goggling eyes,
The Wax-work, Clock-work, all the marvellous craft
Of modern Merlins, Wild Beasts, Puppet-shows,
All out-o'-the-way, far-fetched, perverted things,
All freaks of nature, all Promethean thoughts
Of man, his dulness, madness, and their feats
All jumbled up together, to compose
A Parliament of Monsters. Tents and Booths
Meanwhile, as if the whole were one vast mill,
Are vomiting, receiving on all sides,
Men, Women, three-years' Children, Babes in arms.

For some reason I don't believe any of you.
$10 cash or $10 worth of hot chocolate. It's cold work delivering books all around the world.
Umm... How about free Shakespeare fanfic on Dec 13th?

You know I could be doing something useful instead of deciding which Alice in Wonderland character to be.
Oh dear, oh dear.
And how come no one wanted to be the white rabbit?

About his works or about him? *is intrigued*
His works. Specifically Henry V, in this case. (Waiting for the s now.)
