Go with the Green
Happy St. Patrick’s Day – and to celebrate, here’s a portion of the hymn Father Higgins taught us, St. Patrick’s Breastplate. Patrick is supposed to have composed this in his preparation for this victory over Paganism.

Remembering Severn Darden
Labels:

by guest contributor, Alfred Myers:
In browsing the Bellairsia website, I noticed The House With a Clock in Its Walls lists Severn Darden as one of the actors. Darden was a product the famous Second City Comedy Group that originated at the University of Chicago. It, and its direct predecessor, the Compass Players, generated much of the edgiest comedy of the late 1950s and early '60s and produced such stars as Mike Nichols, Elaine May, and Shelly Berman.

Come Under One Body's Hand
Just got through watching a strange little film entitled The Wicker Man. It’s set on an island off the west coast of Scotland where people continue to practice ancient pagan rituals. The film was released in 1973 and it’s fairly dated and all, but there was one curious little scene that made me do a double take.

Something About Bellairs in the Classroom
Labels:

Are you an educator who has used John Bellairs’s novels in your classroom for a reading assignment? Or perhaps a student who did a Bellairs-related project, such as poster, diorama, or model for an assignment? If so, we'd like to do some homework and discuss lesson plans with you. Drop us a line...even on a school night.
