Widow Liu Xia has left China.

Fascinated by this book when I were but a lad. TV adaptation, not so much, it was ok. RIP Clive.

 

Well done @Bibliogryphon on your unique Joker. I can only dream of such things.

Must be children's author day today.
Christine Noestlinger, an Austrian author best known for her children's books such as "Fiery Frederica" and "Fly Away Home," has died at the age of 81.

The Residenz publishing house in Vienna said on Friday that Noestlinger died June 28 after a short illness.
She was the recipient of numerous prizes for her work, including the Hans Christian Andersen Award in 1984 and the inaugural Astrid Lindgren Memorial Award in 2003.

@Paul Bearer didn't we have a rule some time back about posting links in English so we could read them?

 

Edit: if we were so inclined...
