		<title>Detecting in Hundred Acre wood</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The Independent&#8217;s books page has news of Random House finding an early copy of one of AA Milne&#8217;s detective stories written before Winnie the Pooh. The House has secret passages and is set in Hundred Acre wood. Winnie will never be the same again I fear. The reprint arrives in late autumn.

		<title>Over the Edge with Barnaby Grimes: Paul Stewart and Chris Riddell interviewed</title>
		<description><![CDATA[A couple of weeks ago, Paul Stewart and Chris Riddell sat down and chatted about the Edge Chronicles and the excellent Barnaby Grimes series.
Paul : I started it  (Lord of the Rings) too late. I&#8217;m not a real fantasy afficionado really which is probably why the Edge is odd.
Chris: We&#8217;ve talked about this a [...]]]></description>

		<title>All the World&#8217;s an Eavesdropping stage.</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Wired&#8217;s Threat Level blog has an interesting piece on the  NSA&#8217;s release of paper&#8217;s regarding the discovery of electromagnetic vulnerabilities in encyption machines which led to various bits of research in cracking during the Cold War. TEMPEST, the name for the attack, was proved in 1943 but it appears disppeared until 1951 when the CIA [...]]]></description>

		<title>Pastoral passions in Disney</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The New York Times book review has  a piece on The Idea of Nature in Disney Animation (Amazon UK) which discusses the pastoralist view of nature presented (think Bambi which outraged hunters in 1942 on its release) in its films.
Disney does sentimentalise the children&#8217;s stories that it creates and arguably always has done. The [...]]]></description>

		<title>Re-reading Enid Blyton</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Caitlin Moran has posted a blog item on reading children&#8217;s fiction to her child and rediscovering some gems, particularly Enid Blyton. (I did once try to read Beatrix Potter&#8217;s Peter Rabbit to Mia but being a cat she wanted to chew the book so that was the end of that.) I have to say I [...]]]></description>

		<title>Neal Stephenson&#8217;s Anathem due</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Atlantic Books will be publishing the new Neal Stephenson, Anathem (Amazon UK),  in September which I&#8217;m hoping is going to give some answers as the nature of Enoch. How Root is he? What has  Stephenson really been driving at since the awesome Cryptonomicon?
Synopsis from Amazon:

		<title>Harry Potter and the Manhattan court room</title>
		<description><![CDATA[BBC&#8217;s iPM, the personal version of the PM programme, had an interview with Steve Vander Ark about the court case (it should be on the podcast).
Having heard it, I&#8217;m in two minds whether he and RDR are naive or wilfully keeping their head in the sand. Firstly there is the issue of how the contributors [...]]]></description>
