POPSTin Tin banned in England? Books are reflections of their times- an innocent illustration in one decade might be regarded as prejudicial and offensive in another. While I've never been a fan of Tintin myself, the group does need to admit that the illustrations in the comic/graphic novel are not unlike the illustrations in other books that came before and after it. One of my favourite contriversial books would come decades later- William Steig's Sylvester and the Magic Pebble. A sad but later heart warming story that can teach us how we need to be careful what we wish for... as well as what animals we choose to depict policemen , food the animals should eat and parents should always watch over their children ... but it's such an innocent story! ... and don't get started on Maurice Sendak :(

POPSHow a Lunar Eclipse Rescued Columbus Such a dramatic episode didn't escape the attention of novelists, who later used eclipse occurrences in a similar way to further their own plots. You'll find the device in H. Rider Haggard's King Solomon's Mines, Mark Twain's A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court, and even in Hergé's Tintin adventure Prisoners of the Sun. In some cases, the event is a solar rather than a lunar eclipse. And the details of the eclipse aren't always astronomically correct, especially in the movie versions of the books. But it worked for Columbus.
