Musings about some of my favorite fantasy literature for young readers, comics old and new, the peculiar publishing industry, the future of books, kids today, and the writing process.
Last month on Vast Public Indifference, Caitlin GD Hopkins shared her photographs of the rabbits of the Lexington, Massachusetts, burying-ground. Surely there's inspiration for a new Bunnicula book here.
What's the Oz connection that has me placing this image on the right side instead of the left? I believe James Howe, coauthor of the original Bunnicula and author of most of its sequels, also wrote the short Mister Tinker in Oz for Random House in 1985.

I had just been wishing for more bunnies on OzandEnds. Thank you, I think. (I'm leaving the Bunnicula question alone for now.)
