Your respect of Donaldson's "2nd Chronicles of Thomas Covenant" series is
noble. Finding you on the Guestbook of the Land, I feel connected with
other readers of his brilliant work. I have just completed The Wounded
Land, as an adult now. Purchased as a child after reading the 1st
Chronicles, I never dove in and read it until now. The comprehension,
appreciation, and enjoyment are far deeper now than they could have been had
I read it when purchased decades ago. I am now hooked and must have the
final 2 books in the series.
I have donated my other books to school libraries as I often do after
completing a series. What I seek from you is to obtain the final 2 books
(softback ok)- The One Tree and White Gold Wielder. Surely you or someone
you're connected with has an unneeded or extra set. A horrid divorce,
hospital incidents, and financial crash have left me as the beggar- creator
of worlds in my mind but pauper in person; like a pre-Covenant-the-author in
that I wish to write novels but have not constructed the entire new worlds
in my mind yet. What keeps me going is my passion for a better world, and
the metaphorical expression via fantasy books to help awaken minds to build
that world. The Wounded Land spoke to me between lines and pages.
Recalling the 1st Chronicles from my childhood and relating very closely
with Covenant's trials in The Wounded Land, I sense my rebirth being
chiseled from the 2nd Chronicles. Though my logical mind recognizes it to
be metaphorical, my passionate heart is drawn to the Land. And without
passion, all the intelligence in the world achieves nothing.
It is therefore crucial for me to complete the 2nd Chronicles. And after
completion, I can either return the books to you or, preferably, donate them
to the local school library for children of creative mind to enjoy.
It would touch my heart deeply if you could lend or donate your 2nd
Chronicles to me. I don't even have a credit card or I would buy them used
online, and I don't even have $10 to my name right now, literally, to even
send to a publisher. In getting back on my feet, which may be a long
arduous process, I have found that simply the knowledge of needing to do so
does not drive me. I need the fuel of metaphor; the fuel of passion and
love for a believed ability to heal and improve this world; the fuel for the
small flame which already burns inside thanks to Thomas Covenant; a mentally
constructed talisman; the white gold.
I am of sound mind. The world of fantasy is not an escape. It is fuel. A
fuel which has ignited a fire inside. That fire is real to me, and I know I
must feed it. I must complete the Chronicles. My gratitude to you, my
fellow Covenant fan, shall run deep. For my reawakening and rebirth has
only just begun, and the projects which I will complete in the future will
owe part of their existence to your assistance. Thus I will remember and
repay your generosity.
Will you aid my quest?
Awaiting your reply,
John Truthbringer
