My thanks to Mr. Aguilo for his prompt and informative reply on the
multifaceted,and still-living, Anthony Bonner--linguist, naturalist,
musician, and medieval scholar. Given his wide-ranging abilities, it's a
pity Bonner didn't do more work w/ Verne, beyond his lively,
reader-friendly 20,000 LEAGUES for Bantam.

Again, all thanks to Mr. Aguilo for filling in the biographical blanks on
Bonner.
