Hi kids! This is quite possibly the scariest thing you’ll find at the library at 11 o’clock at night…a view right up my nose. As I mentioned previously there was a storytelling event at the Vanderbilt library last night. It was a great success. Everyone enjoyed the hot chocolate and getting to sit out [...]
There is a place in the mountains in Johnson County, Tennessee, called Rattlesnake Rock. In addition to finding rattlesnakes there, supposedly, on certain nights, you can hear a fiddle being played. The story of the mysterious fiddle player has been told in various books, including The Granny Curse by by Randy Russell and Janet Barnett [...]
The rules for children’s and young adult fiction are pretty much the same as adult fiction, but with an added twist. In Don’t Tell The Grownups Alison Lurie writes about how, in great children’s literature ranging from the tales of Beatrix Potter to Peter Pan to even Winnie The Pooh the adult world is always being undermined. Common [...]
Even though I don’t do chain letters well, I was tagged by Little Miss Know It All, so I have to respond. Or do I? Well, according to some information I’ve found, Hector Shellabarger of Madagascar, North Dakota broke the chain and developed a pimple right before a big date. On the other hand Eunice Smallwood of [...]
“When I use a word,” Humpty Dumpty said, in a rather scornful tone, “it means just what I choose it to mean, neither more nor less.”
If you live in the Nashville area, or you’re planning to be in the area on October 30th, drop by the Vanderbilt University Library at 11:ooPM for a special event of ghost stories and other fun. The event will be held in front of the building, facing the campus, not the side that faces 21st [...]
 In an interview for Studio 360, Neil Gaiman tells a story of how, in 1990 or 1991, he was at the Daily Telegraph Christmas party, and ended up talking to the newspaper’s literary editor,
Once in a while I get lucky at the library where I work. My job doesn’t involve dealing with the public, but sometimes I get out of my cubicle and actually get to meet people. This year Vanderbilt University hosted the 34th Annual Nineteenth-Century French Studies Colloquium. The library also houses the W.T. Bandy Center for [...]
I know I asked, “Are zombies finished?” but that was before picking up The Serpent And The Rainbow by Wade Davis. The Wes Craven film of the same name was based–loosely based–on Davis’s book, and not nearly as frightening. An ethnobotanist, Davis set out to find the “zombi poison” of Haiti, a rumored drug that, if it [...]
The word ”punk” has a long and, in spite of its current, cool connotation, not very illustrious history, having meant in older times (among other things) a prostitute, or a young man kept as a submissive by an older man. Kinda makes you wonder, doesn’t it? A less familiar word, but an appropriate one for this [...] |
