Scholastic employs equal-opportunity gormless editors -- they mess up *everybody's* books. My theory is that they are the same people who make low-calorie foods taste bad so that you'll know they are good for you. -- Joy Beeson http://joybeeson.home.comcast.net/ http://roughsewing.home.comcast.net/ http://n3f.home.comcast.net/ -- Writers' Exchange west of Fort Wayne, Indiana, U.S.A. where winter is back and its sorta snowing.

Hi Lynn, was reading in my local paper today that there is to be a TV film of Hogfather with David Jason playing Albert. (grumpy former wizard) Sky One is doing it but there was no projected date for showing it. Something to look out for jenny barron cold and snowy NE Scotland.
