The Page at Pooh Corner
"James Milne’s Page at Pooh Corner is an excellent resource for those wanting to learn more about the books’ origins. It contains biographies of author A.A. Milne, illustrator E.H. Shepard, and the real-life Christopher Robin (the author’s son.) It also has photos of the original stuffed animals that served as inspiration for the world famous stories. Is webmaster Milne related to the author? "As far as my family can tell, we’re not related ... Still, it’s fun having the same last name!""

The Ogre and The Pixie
Reviewed May 21, 2000 by M. W. Hardgrove, a reader from Wewoka, Oklahoma who is affiliated with the site."The Ogre and The Pixie" is a free online storybook I wrote and illustrated. It’s completely noncommercial. I’m told it’s a valuable tool for teaching small children what they most need to know to avoid or escape abuse of any sort. It’s being featured in the Family section of the Chicago Tribune next month.

The New York Times: The Tolkien Archives
"There are so many Tolkien goodies here, I will simply highlight my favorites. Number one goodie is the collection of original New York Times news articles starting with a 1938 book review of ""The Hobbit."" I also liked the audio snippets of Tolkien reading, the complete first chapters of ""The Hobbit"" and ""The Fellowship of the Rings,"" the nine interactive Tolkien quizzes, and the interdisciplinary lesson plans for grades six through twelve. That should keep you busy for awhile!"

The J.K. Rowling Interview
"Where does Joanne Rowling get her ideas? "I wish I knew. Sometimes they just come (like magic) and other times I have to sit and think for about a week before I manage to work out how something will happen. Where the idea for Harry Potter actually came from I really couldn’t tell you. I was traveling on a train between Manchester and London and it just popped into my head." After the interview, scroll down for Harry Potter inspired writing activities."
