Excerpts for setting study



Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix by J. K. Rowling (2003)


"Sam walked like an Indian, putting one foot straight in front of the other and making very little noise.  The swamp through which he was travling was a wild place - there was no trail, and it was boggy underfoot, which made walking difficult.  Every four or five mintues Sam took his compass out of his pocket and checked his course to make sure he was headed in a westerly direction,  Canada is a big place.  Much of it is wilderness.  To get lost in the woods and swaps of western Canada would be a serious matter."

The Trumpet of the Swan by E. B. White (1942)



"Cinderella" from the Brothers Grimm (1869)






A Wrinkle in Time by Madeleine L'Engle (1962)
