Talk:A Swiftly Tilting Planet

Untitled

Calvin has NOT joined the army. He's a doctor who works in a hospital somewhere near Meg's childhood home (p. 7), and is in London giving a paper at the time of the story's action (p. 13).

I'm not familiar with how the whole wikipedia system works -- if someone wants to edit the main article to include this information, I think that would be best. --Robert

The Rune

If anybody wants to use Patrick's Rune in the main article, here it is:

(At Tara) in this fateful hour

I call all Heaven with its power

And the sun with its brightness,

And the snow with its whiteness,

And the fire with all the strength it hath,

And the lightning with its rapid wrath,

And the winds with their swiftness along their path,

And the sea with its deepness,

And the rocks with their steepness,

And the earth with its starkness,

All these I place

By God's almightly help and grace

Between myself and the powers of darkness!"

Alternate cover photo

I scanned in a first edition cover for use here per the book infobox guidelines, replacing a trade paperback cover. Just so that photo isn't orphaned, in case someone wants to use it somewhere, I'll repost it here. Karen 07:24, 13 July 2006 (UTC)

I've now posted this on the Charles Wallace Murry page. Karen | Talk | contribs 03:42, 27 September 2006 (UTC)

The photo in question is Image:Swiftlytiltingplanet.jpg. Posting this here in case it changes on the front page. davidwr/(talk)/(contribs)/(e-mail) 22:40, 16 March 2008 (UTC)

No, the image in question was a paperback cover, not the Dillon hardcover dust jacket. The image has apparently been deleted for want of a fair use rationale and/or backlink, which I would have provided had I caught the fact that something was lacking. Posting fair use images (e.g. book covers) to talk pages no longer protects them from being orphaned, as Talk pages are not considered a legitimate use of copyrighted material. Ah, well. --Karen | Talk | contribs 05:48, 5 April 2008 (UTC)

Book order

Please see Talk:Many Waters for a detailed explanation why Many Waters is listed as previous to A Swiftly Tilting Planet in the infobox. Although Planet was published before Waters, it takes place later, with the twins in college instead of high school. Thanks! --Karen | Talk | contribs 05:48, 5 April 2008 (UTC)
