I did something similar wen Sean was young, when I took a straight fairy tale telling and turned it into "The King Who Was As Dumb As Mud And His Three Sons Who Were Even Stupider Than Him (Hard Though That Might Be To Believe)." One of my favorites.
No - they one where the dino complained about inaccurate reconstructions which rendered him as a great lumbering beast.

ReplyDeleteI'm glad my own story proved similarly useful.
P.S. Was yours the one about the Harryhousen mechanical dino?
