In retrospect, Norton wasn't detailed enough about the hooves, because I don't know if they extended up to his knee or were just hoof-y feet. In the pics in the second novel, they're the former, except that his knees don't bend backwards.<br /><br />heidenkind: "there's no accounting for taste, even sometimes your own" - perfectly elucidated!Bookphiliahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05155882653615842141noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4972764383963459152.post-55572757906036794392010-07-27T21:15:58.209-04:002010-07-27T21:15:58.209-04:00When I was about 8 I used to be obsessed with the ...When I was about 8 I used to be obsessed with the TV show Beauty and the Beast, with that woman from Terminator.
