Laura's Links
Relationship of Fools
Greetings to one and all and welcome to this week's edition of Laura's Links. I'm sitting in my little workspace looking out at the pouring rain and feeling blah. This is the fifth or sixth straight day of rain so far this "spring" here in southern Ontario. It's so wet and dank and gross and, honestly, this weather brings out the ninja level kvetch in me. It's also been a tough week for a number of different reasons in my "real" and personal life, so I guess it's catching up with me. Anyway, earlier this week, I was catching up on all things Mark Steyn – the shows and the last Q&A, etc., and I'd like to particularly recommend "Thanks a Lot, Tucker" to you all. The whole show, of course, is great, but one of my favourite bits was Mark ...

Steyn's Song of the Week
Home on the Range
If you enjoy Steyn's Song of the Week at SteynOnline, please note that there will be a live stage edition during this summer's Mark Steyn Cruise - along with many other favourite features from SteynOnline and The Mark Steyn Show. More details here. One hundred and fifty years ago this month - April 1873 - a song was given its first performance at a house in Harlan, Kansas, which is about six miles from Gaylord, Kansas, via the miniature Statue of Liberty. The song was not written by a professional songwriter, but by a doctor named Brewster Higley VI - a fact that would be of no interest to anyone save Brewster Higley IX, Brewster Higley X or whichever other Brewster Higley is still extant, because almost instantly the song floated free of ...
Tales for Our Time
The Prisoner of Windsor
A remote fantastical kingdom far from Europe's chancelleries of power... An unpopular monarch on the eve of his coronation... A ruling class of plotters and would-be usurpers... ...and a gentleman adventurer on holiday. No, not Ruritania in the nineteenth century, but the United Kingdom in the twenty-first. My new book is both a sequel to and a contemporary inversion of Anthony Hope's classic of 1894, The Prisoner of Zenda. In the original, an English gentleman on vacation is called upon to stand in for his lookalike, the King of Ruritania, at his coronation. Over a century later, a Ruritanian on vacation in London is called upon to return the favour and stand in for an Englishman in an absurd fantastical kingdom where Brexit never quite ...
