Thank you for your comment below in answer to my previous observation and question.

Well, that's disappointing.

Might this alteration -- really an unnecessary invention -- be one of the many reasons that 99.9 percent recurring of people I know or read about prefer any original book to any filmed version?

My comment below about Edward IV and Elizabeth Woodville and their family could have included an observation that I include now.

Might you have noticed that the same month and day, February 11, served as birth and death months and days for their daughter, Elizabeth?

I wonder how many monarchs and their spouses would be in her company regarding same birth and death months and days?

Thank you for the four links at the very end of your wizzley!

The aforementioned links allow even more access to all the Kate Greenaway works so likable to and liked by me.

The 15th in-text image on the last, fourth link amuses me with the girl so tired as to avail herself of a grassy sleep-amiable lawn.

The aforementioned model bears green shoes. Those shoes well could match any grass stains on her white frock, wouldn't one think?

It was the invention of a spacevfilling fight that was not present in the book. It was a padding out of the narrative to make room for three films.

Thank you for the four links at the very end of this, your Kate Greenaway wizzley.

The first link to Vintage Illustrators begins with an appealing, attractive image of KG's father, John Greenaway.

Can that image be by KG? If so, it's another example, another reason why I like Kate Greenaway's work!

Thank you for your comment below in answer to my previous observation and question.

Did the fight scene fit to fill the transition from one scene to another or to replace a scene that the filmmakers thereby deleted?

In other words, did the book go from (what I arbitrarily designate as) scene 1 to (what I arbitrarily designate as) scene 2 with no fight between the two scenes?
Or did the book go from (what I arbitrarily designate as) scene 1, to scene (other than about fighting) between 1 and 2, to (what I arbitrarily designate as) scene 2?

So did the film invent a space-filling fight between (what I arbitrarily designate as) scene 1 and (what I arbitrarily designate as) scene 2 where the book did not have such a space-filler?
Or did the film drop a non-fight, space-filling scene between (what I arbitrarily designate as) scene 1 and (what I arbitrarily designate as) scene 2 and replace it with fighting?

Congratulations on the beauty and the high-value quality of the ruby and the diamond gems that respectively serve as your July month and your Saturday day-of-the-week gems.

The day-of-the-week list somewhat confounds me in its Sunday choice as topaz instead of perhaps more cherished diamonds and rubies.

Is it known what, when, where, who, why configured those day-of-the-week and month gem choices?

Thank you for your comment below on Jun 15, 2018, in answer to my previous-day observation and question Jun 14, 2018.

It's sad to imagine your wildscape, just 30 minutes from your home, no longer inhabited by such interesting sentient animals and plants.

In particular, I like looking at your lovely photographs of all those bluebells.

The north upper terrace of the upper lawn here manifests so many blue and white violets, so many bluebells, so much grape hyacinth with the early spring months into summer, every year.

The photographed bluebells above occur most colorfully, most comfortingly around the sentient-animal cemetery stones, wouldn't one agree?

The last subheading, The Wars of the Roses in a nutshell, acts so understanding- and user-friendly.

Did the plight-troth, the Bishop of Bath and Wells witness and the parliamentary act do anything socially antagonistic or disrespectful against the Edward IV and Elizabeth Woodville line or did shunning not develop because of Edward IV still dominating politico-socio-economically as monarch?

(For example, some Unitedstatesians give, in historical fiction from historical traditions, to the subsequent Elizabeth I (Sep. 7, 1533-Mar 24, 1603) the prescient three-year-old question "Why My Lady Elizabeth all the other days until today (the day of Queen Anne Boleyn's [1501?-May 19, 1536] overthrow)

Might the plight-troth scandal have made King Louis XI (Jul 3, 1423-Aug. 30, 1483) of France manage his way out of his son, the subsequent Charles VIII (Jun 30, 1470-Apr 7, 1498), marrying Edward IV's and Elizabeth Woodville's daughter, the subsequent Queen Consort Elizabeth (Feb. 11, 1466-Feb. 11, 1503) of England?

Thank you for the 4 links at the very end of your wizzley.

The last, fourth link to the Slikanice has a charming, compelling post about A child's life as illustrated by Kate Greenaway.

It's a bit amusing that the fourth in-text image involves a dressed-up girl with a slender skirt despite her possibly about to jump with her jumping rope.

Now how might she jump in such a fetching outfit without losing her hat -- without hat ribbons around her neck -- and splitting her skirt ;-D !?!

It nevertheless serves as another example, another reason why I see myself as liking Kate Greenaway works (and your wizzley and writings about them)!

Irish myths. But they do not tell you much.

There was an overlong fight scene that was not even present in the book. Unsatisfactory.

Thank you for your comment below on Sep. 2, 2017, in answer to my previous, same-day question.

The second paragraph to your introduction advises us that "It has been the setting of many UK television shows."

Does the above mean that the buildings temporarily get furnished?

The fifth paragraph to your introduction advises us that "People of Grasmere decorate the inside and entrances in St Oswald's Church Grasmere with sheaves of reeds, rushes and flowers."

What flowers does the Grasmere flower-, reed-, rush-bearing favor?

The fourth paragraph to the first subheading, Initial thoughts, advises us that "But scenes containing orcs are not overplayed,and the orcs are a lurking menace, but not ever-present. Thus the Rings of Power does not make the mistake that was made in the Hobbit part two, much of which was taken up by a fight not present in the book, which turned the film into an action movie, quite out of kilter with Tolkien's narrative."

Did the fight scene fill in the plot between one sequence or another or did it replace something between two sequences?
