"Are all these tales such cobwebs and moontalk?" said Mowgli.
“The Jungle Book” by English author Rudyard Kipling (1865-1936) is a collection of short animal stories with moral lessons that Kipling may have written for his daughter who died at age six in 1899. The stories appeared in magazines in 1893-94 and came out in book form from MacMillan Publishers in 1894. Kipling was born in India, spent the first six years of his childhood there and returned as an adult to work there for about six-and-a-half years. He put into his stories everything he knew about the Indian jungle, the best known of which are the three stories revolving around the adventures of an abandoned boy, Mowgli, who is raised by wolves. Other famous stories in the collection include “Rikki-Tikki-Tavi,” a heroic mongoose, and “Toomai of the Elephants,” a tale of a young elephant handler.
The sequel to “Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland” (1865), “Through the Looking Glass and What Alice Found There” (1872) was published seven years later and is set some six months later than the earlier book. This time Alice enters a fantastic world by stepping through a mirror. “Through the Looking Glass” is not quite as popular as “Wonderland” but it does include celebrated verses such as “Jabberwocky” and “The Walrus and the Carpenter,” and episodes involving “Tweedledum and Tweedledee” and “Humpty Dumpty.” The book features fifty in-text illustrations by John Tenniel.

“The Davenport Brothers were instrumental in building the popularity of the American Spiritualist movement prior to the Civil War. They created a sensation all over the country and in Europe and continued mystifying audiences for years. William Henry and Ira Erastas Davenport introduced the spirit cabinet for mediums to use during a séance. These cabinets, or enclosures, would section the medium off from view while they were producing their strange phenomena. This would prove to be both popular and astounding to audiences as the mediums were usually bound hand and foot in the cabinet while the seemingly impossible phenomena manifested about them.” [Source: www.prairieghosts.com/davenport.html]

Otto McGavin is peacefully idealistic by nature, an Anglo-Buddhist, who seeks employment with the Confederacion because he believes in its mission to protect human & nonhuman rights. The only problem is that the Confederacion needs him as one of its twelve Prime Operators for its secret service, the TBII. The TBII wants him as a spy, thief & assassin. It's not, of course, a problem for the Confederacion, which simply uses immersion therapy & hypnotic personality overlay for Otto's training, then sends him out in deep cover, encased in plastiflesh, on a variety of dangerous missions on a number of bizarre worlds. But for him, it's a different matter: what he has to witness & what he's forced to do take a terrible toll. Always he returns to his original self--his conscience stabbed by the memory of all those he'd killed in the service of interstellar harmony.

I made Jem something Jem-esque :D if a little more tame as far as Jem's wardrobe goes. I couldn't get over her bizarre hairdo though (yeah yeah 80s) so I covered it up it with a headband and a little hairgel. I'd imagine that anything more drastic would be one of the greater sins on earth.. and also kill her resale value. Ahem.

After I posted the photos on this car I discovered it was an error car....no windows. I've no idea why I didn't notice before I opened it, but it went straight into a plexiglass container. Going to have to be more careful before I open these I suppose.
