I’m working on two new projects for Riverglen Press. The first is a student edition of Beowulf:
It’s intended for students of Old English, with ample room for notes and glosses. At 30 lines a page, and 3182 lines in the poem, the whole thing will run just over 100 pages. Not too much to print out, I think. Right now I’m taking the Labyrinth text and reformatting it to suit my needs. It shouldn’t take too long for this project, really. An hour or two more at most.
The second project, heralding in the entrance of a new series called Riverglen Originals, is Jakob and Wilhelm Grimm’s Hausmärchen (Fairy Tales), in German. I’ve been gathering the tales from Projekt Gutenberg (they’re in alphabetical order instead of the original order), and when I finish, it’s just a matter of typesetting it all. I haven’t decided yet if I’ll illustrate it or not. Probably not.
