"THE MEANDERINGS ... is a utopia for the silly name, a bizarre little collection of offbeat names, situations, and flat-out ridiculous that should appeal to all fans of Monty Python and Rowan Atkinson. Short but sweet, and oftentimes offensively funny, MEANDERINGS is nothing less than fun for the sake of fun."

Scene Magazine thinks we're odd
London's own Scene Magazine has written not one, but two articles
about the Emily Chesley Reading Circle. The first
piece was published in December, and discussed the Meanderings.
The second was published in early
February, and is about the Circle itself.
Our thanks to Scene and the writer of both
articles, Susan, for letting us reprint them here.
The Meanderings
is featured on CBC's Ontario Morning with Erika Ritter
Yes, the Circle insinuated itself into the body politic of the Mother
Corp once again. Erika introduced the interview with our own Squire
thusly:
For five years, the Emily Chesley Reading
Circle has been meeting in London to research and discuss the
life and works of this remarkable but neglected writer. Though
born in Ireland in the mid 1800s, Emily Chesley eventually made
London her home. Now, "The Meanderings of the Emily Chesley
Reading Circle" has been published by the Circle's members,
to try to spread the word about a hidden treasure in their midst.
Mark Rayner, a founding member of the Circle, came into our London
bureau to tell us more. [

Emily Chesley: The Play?
Yes, it's true. A theatre group based in St. Catharines
created a play based on the life of Emily Chesley. The Squire collaborated
with this mad band of thespians, called, Suitcase
In Point. The show, "Cordially Entertaining
Emily Chesley" has had two runs and who knows what the future
holds?
You can see a poster here.
An earlier version of the Suitcase in Point poster
for the show is available here.
The Circle is proud to introduce its store, The
Frolics Trunk. Damn the Norwegians! t-shirts are on sale this
