Web Resources for VOICE OF THE FIRE

I thought I would post links to some of the web pages I found helpful while reading Voice of the Fire, so they're up for others to use.

Wikipedia article on Prehistoric Britain (for "Hob's Hob", "The Cremation Fields", and "In The Drownings")

Wikipedia article on fairies (for "Hob's Hog")

Wikipedia article on Bronze Age Britain (for "The Cremation Fields")

Wikipedia article on Iron Age Britain (for "In The Drownings")

Wikipedia article on Britannia/Roman Britain (for "The Head Of Diocletian")

Answers.com page on St. Ragener (for "November Saints")

Wikipedia article on the Crusades (for "Limping To Jerusalem")

Wikipedia article on Francis Tresham (for "Confessions Of A Mask")

(featured) Wikipedia article on John Dee (for "Angel Language")

Wikipedia articles on witchcraft, the "witch-cult hypothesis", and witch hunts (for "Partners In Knitting")

Wikipedia article on John Clare (for "The Sun Looks Pale Upon The Wall")

Wikipedia article on the writer Jim Thompson (Moore's most probable influence on "I Travel In Suspenders")

    Hello,

    First of all, thank you!

    I tried to do something similar to this, except it would mapall the interrelations between chapters in the whole book. I lacked the discipline for it. You didn't and your endeavour was even harder.

    I wont link you to my blog since i made 2 embarassing posts 4 years ago and never touched it again. I have a new outlet for my obssession with VOTF, and as soon as it has any worthy content, if you're at all interested I'll link it up.

    Also, you probably know this by now, but I Travel in Suspenders is actually based upon the real events and life of Alfred Rouse.

    anyway, all the best, congratulations on your discipline and excellent work.
