The Orphan Story Tumbles Home: A Review of Lois Lowry’s “The Willoughbys”

Posted on October 7, 2011 by Brenton Dickieson

Everyone loves a good orphan story—or that’s what we must assume, given the popularity of them. I’ve only ever pretended to read Anne of Green Gables (I saw all 4 movies) and Heidi (I read the Classics Illustrated comic), but … Continue reading →

I believe in open access scholarship. Because of this, since 2011 I have made A Pilgrim in Narnia free with nearly 1,000 posts on faith, fiction, and fantasy. Please consider sharing my work so others can enjoy it.

Well, a broken clothesline made a lot of extra time on a drying day. I had an old bent winch and was able to jimmy it together temporarily. What do you buy for clotheslines: heavy duty or super heavy duty? I'm disappointed how long this heavy duty one lasted (3 years).

Hey @UPEI folk: Free Chili and Dahl Lunch today at the @upeichaplaincycentre, 11:30-1:00 and 4:30-6:00. Really, it is free—and pretty good! It's not sketchy at all, despite the fact that I’ll be on the serving team 12:30-1:00.

I just saw some new signage at UPEI's Robertson Library and I think it is a bit humble. A little understated, methinks. UPEI has a great Library with wonderful Librarians! Don’t hide your light under a bushel, RL! You deserve better signage. If you want it hand drawn, there are many local artists who can do a better job capturing the @UPEI spirit.

On this cool, sunny early morning, I'm heading in for FOMO day with my first-year students. This is something I don't want to miss! 😉
