ABOUT THIS RESEARCHER

Created: 22nd January 2001 
Home of Randolph Carter

Hello all!

Well, it looks as though my Bellairs article has transformed into an edited guide entry. I'm considering retiring at this point as I don't want this fame and fortune to go to my head. However, seeing how I'm right in the middle of doing more exciting research on John Bellairs, I hope to uncover enough information to expand on this article at a later date. His life and work really do deserve a fuller treatment. I would like to ask anyone out there who reads this, if they have any information they could pass on to me about JB, I would greatly appreciate it. I can be reached at:

randolphc@hotmail.com

If you haven't already discovered the wonderful Compleat Bellairs site, I urge you to do so. Don't waste your time here.

The Compleat Bellairs.

For anyone intersted in a research oriented site exploring the life and works of John Bellairs, you might like to check this one out as well.

Bellairsia.

Allow me to leave you with a quote from Emerson Eells (one of Bellairs's characters):

"If children spent more time learning obscure facts and less time watching television, the world would be a better place."

Much more to follow...I hope.
