A Feathered Dragon

"The Skrayling Tree" by  Michael Moorcock is going very well, and Ayanawatta, Oona and White Crow are riding the woolly mammoth Bes. They are now battling with a dying feathered dragon that has lost its way, and came off worst in an encounter with Bes. White Crow thinks it will be humane to kill it as it is in so much pain.

Battling Pygmies On A Mammoth

"The Skrayling Tree" by  Michael Moorcock is going very well, and Ayanawatta (the Hiawatha figure) with Oon has met White Crow, who may be Oona's son or father-in-law due to temporal madness. White Crow is riding a woolly mammoth called Bes, and they are being pursued by a band of pygmies led by a puritan Nazi enemy of Onna's, Klosterheim, who is now also a pygmy. This is madly enjoyable.

A Screaming Tree

"The Skrayling Tree" by  Michael Moorcock is an excellent read, and I was hoping to discover what a Skrayling Tree was. The book delves into American/ Norse History, and according to the Hiawatha figure, when Leif Erikson and the Vikings landed in Vinland, they were attacked and harassed by the "Screamers" or "Skraelings", so that answers that question for me.

Gitche Gumee

"The Skrayling Tree" by  Michael Moorcock is an excellent read, far more readable than the Pyat Quartet that took up a lot of last year. It's also subtitled "The Albino In America", referring to Ulric/Elric or his mysterious younger self that appeared in the mysterious island house. Oona Von Bek has ended up on the shores of Gitche Gumee (Lake Superior in invaderspeak)  searching for her kidnapped husband as chapter two starts.

The Kidnap

An Utterly Impartial History of Britain: (or 2000 Years Of Upper Class Idiots In Charge)   by John O'Farrell was enjoyable but the stories from the wars were not easy reading. I have now restarted "The Skrayling Tree" by Michael Moorcock.and am finding this enjoyable as is is another part of the "Eternal Champion" universe and Urlic (or Elric) has just been kidnapped by ghostly Indians in Nova Scotia.

Never Forget

An Utterly Impartial History of Britain: (or 2000 Years Of Upper Class Idiots In Charge)   by John O'Farrell, has finished taking in The Second World War, Hiroshima and Nagasaki and the horror of that conflict, but it engendered a gentle revolution in the United Kingdom with the landslide voctory of the Labour Government, and the introduction of the National Health Service and so mant things to actually buil the country up after the ravages of war.

The next book is a revisit of "The Skrayling Tree" by Michael Moorcock.

War! What Is It Good For?

An Utterly Impartial History of Britain: (or 2000 Years Of Upper Class Idiots In Charge)  by John O'Farrell, is at 1926, The General Strike, when incompetent employers used strong-arm tactics to force starvation wages on employees to boost their profits (sound familar Amazon?). We also covered the Irish Revolution when the English deployed the Black and Tans, a bunch of murderous moronic thugs who seem to have set a template for ICE in the USA.

The First World War saw incompetent politicians and generals send hundreds of thousands of young men to their deaths, and the right-wing media painted it as great fun, as they still do today.

Suffragette War

An Utterly Impartial History of Britain: (or 2000 Years Of Upper Class Idiots In Charge)  by John O'Farrell, has reached the First World War by way of the Suffragettes. Did you know Queen Victoria and two thousand women signed a petition opposing women's suffrage, as women were physically different to men and should not do men's things (like voting) as it might affect their ability to bear children. Sounds like something Pete Hegseth, JD Vance and Charlie Kirk (if he hadn't been shot) are pushing today.
