Sir Launcelot is an eighteenth century gentleman who rides about the country in armour, attended by his comic squire, Timothy Crabshaw, redressing grievances.

It is based on The Life and Adventures of Santa Claus , a 1902 children s book by L. Frank Baum . Production The Rankin Bass production, which spells the title with an ampersand, truncates much of the story it ran in a one hour time slot and simplifies some of the motivations, but its major alterations from the book are setting up the hearing over the Mantle of Immortality as a frame story explaining just why Claus J. D. Roth Earl Hammond deserves the mantle, although there is an edit that makes it difficult to realize that the scene in which Ak Alfred Drake calls the council when first finding the infant in the woods does not occur in the same time period as the main story. In addition, Shiegra accompanies Claus to the Laughing Valley, in which, unlike the book, it is always Winter. A similar compromise toward popular culture is Claus s now eight reindeer, albeit unnamed.

Free Play Improvisation in Life and Art , is a book written by Stephen Nachmanovitch and originally published in 1990 by Jeremy Tarcher of the Penguin Group . Free Play is the creative activity of spontaneous free improvisation, by children, by artists, and people of all kinds. According to Stephen Nachmanovitch, free play is more than improvisation. It runs deeper than our activities involving music and art. It is the essence of our being, something we were born with then strive to recapture. This book reflects the experience of an improvisational violinist as a doorway into understanding the acts of creation in which every human being engages in his or her daily life. Improvisation and creativity are not the property of a few professional artists or scientists but the essence of all our natural, spontaneous interactions. Every conversation is unrehearsed and reflects the activity of improvising as a basic life function. From the opening of the first chapter There is an old Sanskrit word, Lila Leela , which means play. Richer than our word, it means divine play, the play of creation and destruction and re creation, the folding and unfolding of the cosmos. Lila, free and deep, is both delight and enjoyment of this moment, and the play of God. It also means love. Lila may be the simplest thing there is spontaneous, childish, disarming. But as we grow and experience the complexities of life, it may also be the most difficult and hard won achievement imaginable, and it s coming to fruition is a kind of homecoming to our true selves.
