Eulalia!

Through some good fortune, our local indy bookstore was able to snag Brian Jacques on his U.S. tour to promote Eulalia, his latest book in the Redwall series. Typically he does much bigger venues, but he agreed to appear before an audience of 120, the capacity of the public library. He is as wonderful a storyteller in person as he is in print, so the evening went very quickly. Moral of his appearance, as well as his books: Good will always win out over evil. Let's hope that's not fiction.
