In my greatest fancies, I am transported to a world where there are many more stories about Dr. Eszterhazy, Jack Limekiller, Vergil Magus, and Peregrine...a world where he and Harlan Ellison actually finished and published DON'T SPEAK OF ROPE...a world where Davidson continues to write those amazing Adventures in Unhistory...a world that sadly exists only in my dreams. **sigh**Jerry Househttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09482856733981933159noreply@blogger.com
