Rocktalk Inspired Book at Literature Festival

The thread which started innocuosly on the Rocktalk forums as 'I Know that I shall meet my fate' (December 13th-22nd 2003) has now been compiled into a book entitled 'The Owl & the Cragrat' (edited by Marc Chrysanthou and Gordon Stainforth - with Nick Alcock's input on design). The 160 page book was published in March and features 79 climbing variations on classic poems and lyrics (all written by Rocktalk authors) and is wonderfully illustrated by 18 original Duncan Bourne drawings. It will be one of the main attractions at the Festival of Mountain Literature at Bretton Hall Campus (near Wakefield) on the 27 March.

Ah, at last! Some actual printed material from the Meister, Marc C. I can't wait to get a copy. I hope you don't take my remarks as being ingratiating (as if! Fae me? No' likely!), but I'm glad you and other RT wits can now get a bit of cash from your obvious talent; I hope it funds further work. More, please!

You are just doing this to bully me into finishing the 9th draft of "The Kompleet Angular - an Illustrated History of Gudgeon Fishing". I am writing as fast as I can and Dazman is doing his best with the picutres but your retainer only went as far as 2 chicken Ginsters and a purple crayon. btw - do you still want the word search.

I think we need to sit down with Marc then, if he has the time. I mean, in the old days he always had time for a chat but since he appeared on Front Row he has stopped answering my calls, my emails are no longer returned and that injunction makes drinking around Hebden Bridge very problematic.
