My story "The Boy Who Learned How to Shudder" is in this anthology. I am greatly looking forward.

Congratulations! Looks a brilliant anthology, that.

I make a point of the voiced dental fricative in "Fflewddur" to this day, even knowing Lloyd Alexander didn't.

And well you should. It's a bit funny, as I don't speak Welsh at all, but I suppose it's on account of what gets done to Irish on a regular basis, but I feel like thanking you for this, although at the same time I amn't at all sure it's the thing to say.

I should just have recorded myself singing "Captain Kidd" or something.

I'd much like to hear you sing that one, some time.

Is the "Captain Kidd" that you have the one that starts out "My name is Captain Kidd
As I sailed, as I sailed..."?

Patsy used to sing that at the session in Anna Liffey's. I've never learnt it, although I've thought on doing so at times.
