Arise Sir Gandalf

I am tired today, which is something quite unusual for me. It is not the weather, it is not that I am ill, and not that I have eaten too much. I think I have just been in the fast lane too long and need some sleep :-D So today I am going to keep the blog rather short and tell you all about Gandalf Publishing.

Gandalf is run from Stockholm by a man called Carl. I think we might have mentioned him before, and I think he is rather cool. He and I met in the autumn last year when I was talking about Bombadil. He asked me, like so many before him, what happened to those over 60 and whether we were going to accommodate them. Well, I am not over 60 (yet anyway :-D) and told him that I could not do it, but what about him? He called me a few days later completely convinced that he was the right person to do it, something we at Bombadil were even more sure about than he was :-D Calle is cool, and he is speeding ahead with Gandalf at a tremendous speed. I asked him today when he was ready to take Gandalf global and he did not in anyway sound worried or insecure or frightened. Of course he will do it; he is as smitten as we at Bombadil are about the concept and the lifestyle, and I believe that we will soon have Gandalf wild firing around the globe too. It is of course only right that Gandalf goes at a slightly slower speed than Bombadil, there is after all an age difference, isn't there? But then Gandalf was a wizard, and before we know it he might have cast his magic spell on all and sundry and the entire globe will have succumbed to his spell. Arise, sir Gandalf!
