I read THREE HEARTS AND THREE LIONS when I was a kid. Loved it!

Maybe my favorite Anderson book. I got it signed at an Aggiecon long ago.

THREE HEARTS AND THREE LIONS is my favorite Poul Anderson book too, followed fairly closely by THE CORRIDORS OF TIME and OPERATION CHAOS. About two years before his death I bought extras of all three at a huge used book fair in Mission Hills CA he was appearing at and he autographed them for me.

I wanted desperately to tell him how much his writing had meant to me my whole life. As I started to he smiled sadly and pointed at his ears. The woman with him--I believe his wife Karen--said "He's almost totally deaf." I started my little speech again, very very loudly. He heard me, thanked me, and smiled. When he smiled, except for the wrinkles, he looked again like he must have as a college student...

Great story, Rick.
