“It was with some such ideas in mind that I started on this play. Or else they developed as I wrote about it. Or else I have developed them in defence of it now that it is is written.” (Robert Bolt, A Man for All Seasons, preface) https://t.co/ukjbfRQK80

I need someone with a deep knowledge of 20th-century children’s literature. I’m reading Felix Salten’s BAMBI to my younger kids. It’s a book I read as a kid—but something I remember from it…isn’t here. It must be…from some other book? I want help identifying the source…

We desperately need more movies informed by this idea, Darren Aronofsky’s NOAH is one of the few good ones https://t.co/CW9esw6kco
