On This Day in Weird, August 15...
Happy birthday to CFZ-USA editor Ronan Coghlan...I think.
The proviso is added, since Facebook pegs his birth date as today, while the
GoodReads website lists it as January 1. Oh, well. In any case, we salute him
as Fortean investigator and author of numerous books including Dictionary of Cryptozoology, Further Cryptozoology, Cryptosup, Dictionary
of Irish Myth and Legend, Irish Christian Names, Encyclopaedia
of Arthurian Legends, Handbook of Fairies, The Robin Hood
Companion, Sherlock
Holmes and the Heir of Albion, Companion
to Atlantis and Other Mystery Lands, and The Grail. His authoritative
and lavishly illustrated Encyclopaedia of Arthurian Legends has sold more
than 120,000 copies worldwide and has been translated into Japanese and
Hungarian, while other Arthurian scholars praise it profusely. Whenever the
actual birthday may be, many happy returns!
Thank you, Michael. You have the date right! - Ronan
