Today I Noticed Something

[ninedaysaqueen.livejournal.com]

     So...

     Today I went to a bookstore (like that's anything strange), and when I walked by the Newberry Honor shelf I (for the first time in my life) saw "The Thief" there. I was very happy.

     So, I took a closer look at some of the extras in the back. On Mrs. Turner's list of favorite books, I noticed one by Peter Dickinson called "The Dancing Bear."

     Note this quote...

"...why he always had the part of the dancing bear." p36 of "The Queen of Attolia" (softcover)

     I wonder if Mrs. Turner is tributing Dickinson's novel with this quote.

     Opinions?

Well, she has said that she intentionally references her favorite books. Seems pretty likely to me.

Ooh, coincidental. When I was in the library yesterday, I saw a new copy of The King of Attolia on the display shelf.
And it wasn't even me who put it there :D

Ooh, nice catch. I never noticed that.

Opooh I never noticed that! I bet it is a reference like the HMC one. Good spotting skills!
