Notes:

G.N. Gabbard, THE HIGH PLACE, and THE SHADOW OF ARVOR:

Anyone who reads The High Place immediately recognizes it as a fairy tale of sorts. In an article titled "Fairy Tales in The High Place", published in Kalki No. 16, G.N. Gabbard traces the fairy tale antecedents of Florian's misadventures. In particular, he ties it to the rather obscure tale of the wicked Prince Komorre, and draws on that story as told in Edith Wingate Rinder's THE SHADOW OF ARVOR: Legendary Romances and Folk Tales of Brittany, Patrick Geddes & Colleagues, Edinburgh, 1896. The image shown at right is not the first printing, but is instead a scan of the much prettier 1902 edition, also issued by Geddes.
