Another PF Inspiration?

This is the message as the crawl holds it, before anything here touched it. What the conversation shows has been through ingest: transfer encodings decoded, attachments dropped, quote markers repaired, and the archiver’s ? resolved into quotation marks and dashes. Those repairs are judgements and some of them are wrong, which is what this page is for. Email addresses are obscured here as they are everywhere else on the site, so it is before our repairs rather than byte for byte.

Does the plot of this series sound like PF at all to anyone? It seems
like something Wolfe could have read in his youth; I know the stories
were pretty well-known into the 50's, when Disney did a rough
adaptation of some of the stories with Patrick McGoohan, star of The
Prisoner, a rather Lupine show. Anyone read these? I gather some are
still in print I gather (though the Wikipedia entry more or less gives
away the entire plot).
