I finished reading @benaaronovitch.bsky.social 'Stone &Sky'. Another brilliant combination of murder mystery, thriller and gentle, sometimes sardonic humour. The twins have become my favourite characters followed by the talking foxes.

I struggle with this. Who would play Carloman? Paul Giamatti has the features, but not the personality. Too sardonic. Stick a chest-length beard on an older Ralph Richardson and we're looking good. He was the wizard Ulrich in Dragonslayer (1982) and the Supreme Being in Time Bandits (1981).

Then even in his compassion George's Quilpish humour broke forth in a sudden longing to pluck these specters by the sleeve....
