Unless, was he becoming vegetarian, with the assistance of brilliant artists of cookery?

I haven’t read the latest volume.

I have read only to where he is parted from His Dear.

He does, of course, himself, eat animals.

Is he meant to be mineral or vegetable?

But then, Temeraire isn’t an animal.

Kate — The Cornflower in your “Crossroads” series is, um, different from this Redwall Cornflower.

I tried reading these books a couple times and got nowhere immediately. They arrived when I was too far past the right age to read them, and thus imprint upon them, like I did Bambi and the Black Stallion, for instance. I still love those books, they are comfort books for me. But books with talking animals that came along post that period in my life don’t work so much.

Except for Temeraire. He speaks so elegantly and eloquently.

Love, C.

Djiril,

when my boys were 10, they (and most of the boys in their 4th grade classrooms) devoured the Redwall books. Their sister (2 years their senior) refused to read them because, she said, rats and weasels were always bad guys, and she didn’t think that was right.

Ah, yes, Dragon~~rape~~flight.

But then, what does one expect from “Tent peg” McCafferey?

(Full disclaimer: I still own the Dragonrider and DragonHarper series. Also, nothing McCafferey ever wrote could possibly compare with the “Venom Cock” series. Of which I still need to torture myself with the third.)
