I feel the same way about my Bronte inspired kingdoms. Tintin's Syldavia and Borduria is another escape route, by the whiskers of Kurvi-Tasch! <br /><br />Brilliant clip - thanks for sharing this.

Might at least contribute to the mix you're putting together. "Campaigning on the Oxus and the Fall of Khiva" by MacGahan can be found in the Internet Archive is a good read.Ed Mhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11486985414917229516noreply@blogger.com
