S3 E6: Crown of Dalemark
Mitt at last came out with the real cause of his disappointment with the North. "They told me it was free here," he said. "They told me it was good."
North and South, history-time and story-time, past kings and future kings, bicycle horses and evil-haunted trains and a really truly impressive array of bad dads all meet on Dalemark's green roads in the book it took Diana Wynne Jones fifteen years to write.
S1 E8: The Spellcoats
The story is largely self explanatory, but certain obscurities in the text have been amended to avoid confusing the reader.
The power of the land, the return of the king, and the magic of finding meaning in a text.
S1 E7: Drowned Ammet
Mitt was not sure he knew what a free soul was – it never occurred to him that his mother had no idea either – but he thought it was a splendid thing to be.
Revolution, righteous anger, gods and prophecy and the most common name in Holand.
S1 E4: Cart and Cwidder
I sing for Osfameron; I move in more than one world.
The power of art, the divided self, and Walemark.
