Hi,

I was just wondering if it could be possible that
the kids *did* write those sections - but, in fact,
not as stylishly as we're reading them. and the reason
they're as stylish as we're reading them is becuase
the story of Horn has turned into a religious text,
and has been "intepreted" over the years by better
writers? (Though, I guess not a good explanation for
Pig's h'ears.)

Well, it leaves a lot to be desired as an explanation (since Hoof's
section is so different) but even though these kids haven't had a
strong literary education, Hoof and Hide were raised by (and Daisy
taught by one of) the authors of _The Book of Silk_.
