Farthing. #5. 25-Feb-2007

Always a treat when Farthing is delivered.
The knock-out story was of course, 'After the Reformation: Interviews with the Grammarians' by Helen Keeble.
This is a story about what it is like to be a word in a book. Exactly the sort of idea that I get excited about. I enjoyed the definitions of terminology. What was clever is the the way the human situation emerged and became explained as the story progressed. Personally, I think I might have preferred it if it hadn't been explained. But I know I'm minority taste with these things.

This is her first published work. I can't wait to see what follows.

Excellent Drabble (#19) from Michael Stone too.
