Thanks Greenfeed; I ...Yup. My German is <i>that good</i>!<br /><br />Thanks Greenfeed; I know it varies between different publishers. The designer for my English Walker covers - the wonderful Patrick Insole - in fact read the books closely before making his designs, and discussed them in depth with me. Which is perhaps why I like them so much.Alison Croggonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08398213223487458758noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2934994311413050022.post-29703804083203253712010-01-01T04:24:25.045+11:002010-01-01T04:24:25.045+11:00Did you know that Das BaumLied means The Treesong?...Did you know that Das BaumLied means The Treesong?The BoredMasterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00795507547867265915noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2934994311413050022.post-66929050352974233552009-09-15T09:36:38.575+10:002009-09-15T09:36:38.575+10:00the designer make this what the

As I love good cards in a fantasy book and I often take a look on them, I missed this in book two.<br /><br />Perhaps, this old man on the cover is the bard, which caused all the problems??? It really makes no sense.<br /><br />Thank you for some wonderfull hours!<br />Best regards,<br />BiancaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2934994311413050022.post-4818266522571658382009-04-22T11:00:00.000+10:002009-04-22T11:00:00.000+10:00Thanks Dino35!

I like the thought that Bards and Wizards are related and can travel between each other's worlds.<br />I started the Naming about a week or so ago (I know, I have been ignorant to genius for too long) and I am now about half way through the Crow. I'm convinced they are likely the best books I have ever read an I'm actually really surprised I never heard of them before.<br />Maybe the guy on the cover is supposed to represent how ancient the Treesong and the lyre are. Well, they have one thing in common: they're a riddle.dino35https://www.blogger.com/profile/08699551253346176472noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2934994311413050022.post-35934852132218204702008-09-26T07:13:00.000+10:002008-09-26T07:13:00.000+10:00my first thought was that is was nelac(while actua...my first thought was that is was nelac(while actually my first thought was dumbledor but when i though about pellinor charactor's i thought of nelac). but nelsor is a good guess. but i livein the u.s. so i haven't read it yet...still can't wait.
