Did you guys hear that they think they've found Richard III's skeleton?
I'm reading Reflections, a book of essays on writing by Diana Wynne Jones and am loving it. It's making me want to re-read everything of hers.
I read Diana's website a while back and it has a longish memoir about her childhood during WWII when she and her sisters were evacuated during the blitz. Really fascinating. Among other things, her neighbors out in the country included Beatrix Potter and T.H. White, both of whom were apparently quite grumpy.
