It's so good to hear someone else bring up 'The Spiderwick Chronicles: Field Guide'. That book was my childhood too!

Gargoyles were often made to look like living people known to the stone masons and architects, as kind of an inside joke.

The washington national cathedral had a design competition for one of its gargoyals/ grotesques, so now there's a grotesque of Darth Vader above one of the windows.

I met Tony DiTeelizzi the illustrator of the Spiderwick books at a convention years ago. He signed some Magic the Gathering cards for me. We talked a bit about the artists that inspired him. He was very nice.

"I used to stash handfuls of worms in my pockets." One of my earliest memories is from when I was about 3 years old. I had been shown the wonders of lightening bugs and managed to catch quite a few in the backyard. The memory is seared into my brain because of my mom's reaction when I said that "I put them in my pockets." Between my disappointment at finding nothing but glowing globs of goo stuck to my fingers when I tried to show her my collection and my mom's horror (especially when I wiped my hands clean on my pants!), this is a memory I cannot forget. In my child's mind, I was sure those bugs would not be harmed by being crammed into my pants pockets.
