Philippa Pearce Memorial Lecture

Four of the seven lectures to date (2008 to 2012) seem to be about Philippa Pearce and three of those are available online.

2011 Philip Pullman (text) —12pp on Tom's Midnight Garden
2008 Victor Watson, "Philippa Pearce - Word Perfect" (text) —4pp "In Philippa Pearce’s fiction, every word, every nuance, every denotation and connotation, the sound, shape and melody of every phrase and sentence, was considered, tried out and sounded out, and finally approved by a profoundly self-critical and discriminating wordsmith. ..."
2008 Julia Eccleshare, "Time and Place: Shaping the Creative Landscape" (not available)
2008 David Wood, "Taking Tom from Page to Stage" (text) —7pp "Not long after the play was first produced, Philippa asked me what was the most difficult thing about adapting Tom’s Midnight Garden for the stage. ..."

Names[edit]

Ann Philippa Christie Pearce, full name. The U.S. Library of Congress cites IMDb.[1] Is that a mistake or a genuine legal name established by marriage to Martin Christie?

Warrener, pen name. The same source cites a 1983 phone call to publisher. Here are some titles reported by WorldCat from library records ('WorldCat search results 'bunnykins warrener').

Two Bunnykins out for tea, 1984, illus. Glenys Corkery
A Picnic for Bunnykins, 1984, illus. Walter Hayward
Bunnykins in the Snow, 1985, illus. Walter Hayward
Bunnykins in the Kitchen, 1987, illus. Walter Hayward

Evidently these are children's picture books. Checking only one record for each title I find three reports of 24 pages, one without page-count.

Kings Mill[edit]

Should have a mention. Did she live in the house, or just nearby?

All the best: Rich Farmbrough, 12:39, 1 January 2017 (UTC).[reply]

Bubble and squeak[edit]

Part of the title of a book links to the article Bubble and squeak on the food. Other than that is where the name came from, is that relevant ? -- Beardo (talk) 16:43, 24 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
