	These books are great fun for rainy afternoons, and like nothing
else in the world.  There is a third book called The Wonderful O, which is
not as good as the others but still worth finding and reading.  There is also
a pastiche by Samuel R. Delany called Prismatica.  It is an interesting
attempt, but I suspect the style is nearly impossible to duplicate: like
trying to imitate Peake.

	The White Deer was produced for the stage at the University of
Albuquerque a few years back; it came off much better than I expected.
