		Lloyd's policies can only be obtained by registered Lloyd's brokers who have been appointed either by the prospective insured or by the insured's non-Lloyd's broker.
		Alexander filed a third-party complaint for indemnification and contribution against Syndicate 317 and other Lloyd's underwriters alleged to have subscribed to Landoil's policies and Syndicate 317 responded by filing the motion to dismiss the third-party complaint for lack of personal jurisdiction.
		Alexander contends that Nemetsky and Whitney are distinguishable because the Fund is not used merely to facilitate underwriting of New York risks, but rather is a functional predicate to Syndicate 317 insuring New York customers or risks.

		According to Lloyd Alexander, writers can be their own editors, but it is not a good idea--like self appendectomy.
		Alexander's picture books such as The House Gobbaleen (1995, Dutton, Ages 4 to 8, $15.99) and The Fortune-tellers (1992, Dutton, Ages 4 to 8, $15.99 and $5.99) have a witty and mystical touch.
		Alexander has created a charming society with the ambiance of the Renaissance world.

		Alexander was sent to Alsace-Lorraine the Rhineland and southern Germany.
		As Alexander says "It was as if all the hero tales games dreams and imaginings of my childhood had suddenly come back to me." The result was The Book of Three and the other chronicles of Prydain the imaginary kingdom being something like the enchanted land of Wales.
		But fantasy Alexander believes is merely one of many ways to express attitudes and feelings about real people real human relationships and problems.

	"Gypsy Rizka" by Lloyd Alexander, reviewed by Amy Harlib (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		Lloyd Alexander, veteran and prolific writer of books (many award-winning and considered modern classics), marketed to young people but enjoyable for folks of any age, produces another excellent yarn to add to his already esteemed oeuvre which includes fantasies and non-magical adventures.
		Alexander thus presents the perfect backdrop for his heroine, Gypsy Rizka (actually the offspring of a "gadjo" mother and a Rom father), who lives on the edge of town with her orange-striped male cat Petzel in her wagon (hoping one day to be reunited with her roaming widower paterfamilias).
		Alexander's crisp, lively prose rich in witty repartee and vivid descriptions, brings to life his zany characters, most especially his unusual, eponymous lead player---a female version of the archetypal trickster who grabs the reader's attention by being an utterly believable and empathetic human being as well.

	Lloyd Alexander Audiobooks: The Book of Three, The Black Cauldron, The Castle of Llyr
		Lloyd Alexander brought magic to my childhood, and no more so than with the five books collectively called the Chronicles of Prydain.
		In Alexander's works, the girls are spunky and intelligent, and the boys are plucky and, if sometimes a little bewildered, tend to win out through persistence that leads to a dawning self awareness.
		Lloyd Alexander did me a good turn when he wrote these books, and I hope he will continue to inspire generations of folks -- young and old alike.

	The Austin Chronicle Screens: Video Reviews
		Alexander's mythical Prydain was a land of sorcery, battle, and folklore, featuring the growth of young Taran from an assistant pig-keeper into a High King over the course of five volumes.
		Alexander's world was Middle-Earth for a younger crowd, with more emphasis on character development and the coming-of-age thread.
		These characters were all in Alexander's books, but their portrayal in the film is shallow and reductive, at best.

	The Common Room: Lloyd Alexander (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		Lloyd Alexander has written too many books to list, but our favorite would have to be the delightful Prydain Chronicles.
		Alexander has written others without the magic, but we don't think the characters in them are nearly as delightful as those who people the Prydain Chronicles.
		Alexander has indicated that Disney still holds the film rights to all five of the Prydain books, but has no intention of re-producing any of them, even though recent times have seen a marked rise in popularity for fantasy films, such as Harry Potter, Lord of the Rings and The Chronicles of Narnia.

		Considered one of the world’s master storytellers, Lloyd Alexander has written both picture books and novels, including the Newbery Medal recipient The High King.
		Writing as a career did not seem possible to a young Alexander; his parents pleaded with him to do something more “sensible,” so he took his first job as a bank messenger.
		After returning to the United States, Alexander made his living as a cartoonist, advertising writer, and editor for a small magazine while trying to get his novels published.

	The SF Site Featured Review: Gypsy Rizka
		Lloyd Alexander has been writing some of the best American children's literature for the past 35 years.
		The best children's authors, like Lloyd Alexander, have a universal appeal, being entertaining yet not condescending to the young, and taking on an additional layer of humour and escapism as an adult.
		In some ways I think Alexander's form of fantasy may be more effective at distancing its young readers from the pressures of their society than those works that directly address these pressures.

		Lloyd Alexander is best known for his award-winning Prydain series, then for the Vesper Holly adventures and the Westmark trilogy.
		Alexander's casts often include similar characters: the flawed hero who needs to learn something on the way, the odd and often self-deprecating sidekick, and the girl with wit and intelligence and little patience with needless idiocy.

		What brings the tale of Taran to life is Alexander's skillful use of humor, and the way he personalizes the mythology he has so clearly studied.
		Such is true of Lloyd Alexander's THE BOOK OF THREE, the first novel of the Prydain Chronicles.
		Lloyd Alexander has done an excellent job of creating a good fiction series that is actually more than just fiction, which is something that most modern fiction books fail to do.

	The SF Site Featured Review: Time Cat
		Time Cat was Lloyd Alexander's first children's book way back in 1963, even before his famed Prydain Chronicles, and it has aged remarkably well.
		From Time Cat to his latest Gypsy Ritza, Alexander has continued to write children's stories with both plenty of adventure and risk to his heroes, yet always with a healthy dose of humour.
		While the last episode, in the "United States" of 1775, was perhaps the weakest, each and every episode left me wishing Alexander has written a book twice as long, not so he could add more lives to Gareth, but so that he could expand each one in greater detail.

	Lloyd Alexander, Westmark (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		Alexander does a great job with both female characters and with the confusion that adolescent boys and girls engender in each other ‚Äì a situation that rarely resolves itself in adulthood!
		I like the fact that Alexander introduces political discourse in a way that should be very accessible to this audience, and prepare them for more advanced literature, as well as more serious philosophy.
		Westmark is not as dark and mystical as Alexander's wonderful Chronicles of Prydain series, nor is the plot as complicated.

		Lloyd Alexander has long enjoyed a reputation for creating feisty heroines, and Gypsy Rizka is no exception.
		Rizka is a delightful character surrounded by a deliciously oddball cast of characters portrayed so convincingly that one could swear the book is illustrated -- which it is not.
		As usual, Alexander employs just the right tone and chooses just the right words to give the book the flavor of the "Wise Men of Gotham" or the foolish dwellers in Chelm while remaining wholly original.
