• Wow! I'm over halfway through this 12 “book” poem and find it epic and poetic. To what shall I compare it? Tolkein's Lord of the Rings comes to mind. Even more to the subject matter, I was reminded of the exchange between David and Goliath from 1 Samuel 17.

• Who picked this book anyway? Evan Moore and Mike S. recommended this book last year, at the Chekhov Book Party at Planks.

• Illustrated versions? There are many. I obtained a great version illustrated by Gustav Doré. I picked up one of the three copies that were on the shelf at Half Price books on Lane Avenue. Thank you, Chris Lopez, for that tip.

• Can I you get it electronically? Of course; it was written in the 1600s. I know of one person trying to read it on his iPhone, my brother. I call him “intrepid.”
