This and that

I am now the happy owner of a copy of Leeds University Verse 1914 - 24 :-)

In other news, this is a very clever (and, having just seen him on TV, a very bouncy) doggy.

And having watched the Powell & Pressberger film A Matter of Life and Death yesterday, I was struck by the opening sequence; it rather reminded me of the opening sequence of The Clangers!

I love Powell and Pressburger! My favourite is I Know Where I'm Going but AMOLAD is probably second.

Channel 4 seem to have a season of their films on atg the moment:
- The Spy in Black (set, and partly filmed, in Orkney)
- One Of Our Aircraft Is Missing
- AMOLAD
- The Black Narcissus
- The Battle of the River Plate.

Gasp! And I'm missing it! A Matter of Life and Death is my favourite film.

(And congratulations on your book find, it's wonderful.)

One of the classic films of all times - and the David Niven role that I always remember him for

Congratulations!

Regarding another Tolkien related book, I am astonished that bookfinder.com does not turn up a single copy of Blackwelder's Tolkien Thesaurus. Do you perhaps know why this book, supposedly in print, is unavailable? Any suggestions?

I am deeply disappointed by Walking Tree Press's Tolkien's Shorter Works, largely overextended literary claptrap, in my opinion, but then literary theory has always been incomprehensible to me. On the other hand, the most recent volume of Tolkien Studies is a delight.

I should rather have emailed, shouldn't I?
