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.

It's a parallel derivation, not a sequential one.   LITTLE, BIG gets its 
cosmology through the Victorian legend of Fairies, which is derived from the 
diminished Shakespearian version.   THE WIZARD KNIGHT tries with some 
success to synthesise far older streams - Celtic myth, Gnosticism, Nordic 
legend (overwhelminglky important) and of course CS Lewis and Tolkien.
