Fictional Days

The Book of Fictional Days is a collection of events that did not really happen in a weekly desk diary format. Every day contains a fictional event from a book, movie, or even a song. For example: today Solomon Moretsi claims he cut his finger (from The No. 1 Ladies' Detective Agency by Alexander Smith.) Compiled by Bob Gordon from classic and contemporary sources, the book lists occasions like the day Mark Twain's Connecticut Yankee arrived in King Arthur's Court (June 19) or the day Isabella eloped with Heathcliff (March 11). The facing pages contain illustrations of literary greats by artist Barry Moser. What a wonderful collection of daily prompts for the writer's imagination! It would also be a great gift for the enjoyment of well-read writers, readers, or for those becoming writers.
