    Michael Moorcock

    He has been mentioned a number of times here: www.forteantimes.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=19092 www.forteantimes.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=22278 but there hasn't been a specific thread so I thought... why not? Wikipedia entry: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michael_Moorcock...

    The Box Of Delights

    Anyone recall this BBC TV series from the eighties, filled with up to the minute (for the time) effects? I've been watching it again on DVD and although dated-looking, it's surprisingly good and has aged well with lots of nice Fortean references (King Arthur, Ancient Greece, a water sprite...

    Dragons!

    I always thought it was amazing the number of people who have told me that they also used to believe as children that dragons slept under mountains and hills and recently watching the film, Reign of Fire, has remined me of this. It is a known fact that children see things that adults don't...
