NFE recommendations
Sep. 3rd, 2015 09:18 amI am still working my way through the stories in the exchange, but I wanted to highlight a couple of stories that I think deserve more love:
The Atrementus Collection - Men, Monks and Gamekeepers - a study in popular legend is a wonderful bit of faux-scholarship. The museum pamphlet, especially the physical description of the book, is impressively detailed and delivers the proper scholarly tone. And then the letter, with its hints about more of the underlying history (with which most visitors to the Reading Room would presumably be more familiar than I!), and the relationship between the two fauns, and the content of the book itself, is beautifully done.
White Lady of the Eastern Sea
Summary: In the third year of her conquest, Jadis locked Aslan out of Narnia and plunged that country into endless winter. But there are other powers in the world, and not all of them are pleased at the sudden changes.
...and I'm not sure what more I can say about it. Just go read.
ETA: Blast, I forgot to thank![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
