These young anthologists make me feel old. One of my criticisms of some recent reprint collections by anthologists like Neil Clarke (and others) has been the lack of fiction from before the year 2,000. Above are the magazines that contained six of the stories included in Moonrise: The Golden Age of Lunar Adventures. Six of the SF pulp and digest magazines containing stories reprinted in Moonriseīecause I can’t resist needlessly burdening this article with beautiful covers, I’ve curated a selection for each volume, featuring half a dozen of the original sources.

I didn’t mind living in Washington for my senior year and then my first year of college-it was becoming my home. I happened to like mine, even if it’s not where I grew up. I know college students do this all the time they leave home and can’t wait to be away from their hometowns, but not me.

In 1905 he wrote her biography, Lilavati Jivankala. In moments of 'lucidity', she spoke of her suffering and that challenged the very foundations of Govardhanram's life. She was raised to be the perfect embodiment of virtue, and died at the age of twenty-one, consumed by tuberculosis. Her education and the writing of Sarasvaticandra were intertwined. Lilavati was his and Lalitagauri's eldest daughter. He was referring to the souls of his countrymen and women, which he sought to cultivate through his literary writings.

Perhaps she would have come to accept the novel, but it would have taken more years than she had left. In a pre-arranged conversation down the line from London to a public phone box in Accrington, Winterson had tried to explain "it's not about us in any real way".

Without George MacDonald we might not have Narnia, or Middle Earth within the Scottish canon itself, Stevenson was heavily influenced by R.M. David Balfour and Long John Silver, Ratty and Mole, the multi-hued fairies and Peter Pan are just a few of the characters dreamed up by Scottish firesides who have gone on to shape the way we think about stories for children and young people. Among the output of its thinkers, Scotland has, of course, produced a remarkable number of classics of children’s literature. I recently began a children’s non-fiction title with these words. Perhaps the chilly weather and long, dark winter nights keep people inside by the fire and inspire them to dream big dreams. Scotland doesn’t have a big population, but it has produced an incredible number of important scientists, writers, inventors, doctors and other thinkers, and more still have come to live and work here.
