While examining the book of world libraries he abandoned, Gia unwittingly speaks the key that sucks her and her friends into a photograph and transports them into a Paris library, where Arik and his Sentinels-magical knights charged with protecting humans from the creatures traveling across the gateway books-rescue them from a demonic hound. ![]() ![]() That is, until Arik, a leather clad hottie in the Boston Athenaeum, suddenly disappears.

Not that I'd want to give the impression that Magrs' series of books about Brenda (Whitby B&B woman and wonderfully human creature of the night) is in any sense a mere extension of Whedon's earlier TV series.

Or, perhaps you are reminded of the movie “Uptown Saturday Night” in which the comedian Flip Wilson played the role of a pastor who delivered a rousing sermon titled “Loose Lips Sink Ships.” In it he mentioned not only careless talk, but also loose lips out there going around kissing lips that don’t belong to them. Posters were printed and placed in conspicuous places with this warning: Loose Lips Sink Ships! ![]() The information was then forwarded to German submarines which targeted those ships and many lives were lost because of what someone uttered carelessly. Enemy spies frequented local pubs listening on the seamen’s conversation, until after a few pints of beer they would talk about where their ship was going and when.

And in this book the rabbits do great things through their belief in their stories. He proposes that the great feats of cooperation humanity accomplishes stems from an ability to believe in stories that we cannot directly see or prove. It reminded me of a TED talk by Yuval Noah Harari about the rise of humans. His actions empower them to be brave, take risks. El-ahrairah's qualities in these stories define the qualities that the rabbits believe make them different, unique amongst all the other animals. ![]() ![]() Before any major undertaking the rabbits tell stories of El-ahrairah, Prince of the Forest, who the rabbits hold in religious esteem. The things that struck me most were the strangeness of mankind in the way we change and use the environment and the incredible importance of stories in shaping our actions, beliefs and identity. On the surface that's all this book may be about to some. The story follows a small band of rabbits looking for a place to make their home after escaping the ruin of their previous warren and tells of their adventures trough the exquisitely depicted English countryside. And I'm so glad he encouraged me to pick this up. Just finished reading this at the ripe old age of 20 after my father was shocked that I'd not read it before. ![]() |
