WHY ARE YOU READING A CHILDREN'S BOOK: A miniwank bedtime story.
Once upon a time, a self-published author wrote a book about ANTIGUA: The Land of Fairies Wizards and Heroes! (Alas, the land lacked commas!) She even gave it every tag in existence, of which only about three were appropriate! (Miley Sirus? Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows? High School Musical? What, no Kitchen Sink tag?) Unfortunately, it got bad reviews by everyone but the author. Even the forums weren't safe. And neither was Barnes & Noble! THE FIVE STAR REVIEWS ARE NOT FROM THE AUTHOR! REALLY!

And we all lived happily ever after!

The End!

The thing that gets me is that Antigua is a real place.

It's sort of like the book was titled Newark: Land of Magic and Trolls and Fairies and Magic Fairy Ponies.

Yeah, why not make up a name when Antigua is real? lol The laziness in this knows no bounds.

In one of Patricia Wrede's books, she named the magic elf city Eveleth. No, it was not the home of the Elven Hockey Hall of Fame, but it should have been.

Yes, but her books were often trying to be crack. Hides her battered copy of Dealing with Dragons

Newark: Land of Magic and Trolls and Fairies and Magic Fairy Ponies.

I know I spent last saturday morning in Newark, and had a lovely conversation with Twinkiebell the cake fairy while I was there.

I'm curious about events in Antigua's sister nation, Barrbrudrrra. Land of Magic and Pirates and Magicky Magic Bears?
