Gnomic Utterances. These are traditional, and are set at the head of each section of the Guidebook. The reason for them is lost in the mists of History. They are culled by the Management from a mighty collection of wise sayings probably compiled by a SAGE—probably called Ka’a Orto’o—some centuries before the Tour begins. The Rule is that no Utterance has anything whatsoever to do with the section it precedes. Nor, of course, has it anything to do with Gnomes.

Date: 2011-11-12 04:48 am (UTC)I have been thinking ever since reading Karen Healey's The Shattering, which I loved, that there should be more pagans in realistic fiction. I mean, there is a dearth of YA books that take religious belief seriously and aren't by Melody Carlson, but I don't think I've ever read a book with a pagan character where "And her magic actually works!" wasn't part of the storyline, for better or worse.
