Has anyone been able to load this book that is
still available on Planet Newton? It sounds like
a different and creative collection of art work
but I get an error in the midst of loading it on
my newton and suspect the file is corrupt. I'm
curious what this is all about and can't find the
original source link which apparently goes back
to 1995 or so.
Any insight appreciated.
Ho, ho, ho.

There are 50 pages of original artwork rendered in the classical storybook style to compliment the cheerful and original text. The 48 highly-detailed illustrations make this storybook an impressive way to show-off the capabilities (and screen display) of your Newton to others and also makes fascinating visually-oriented reading for children. Like all "Newton Books", you can draw on the pages, mark them for later reference, print or fax them. The mythical/mystical Mist Babies are little fairies who live in America's most popular and highly-visited national park "the Great Smoky Mountains". To our knowledge, this is the first time that fictional storybook characters actually reside, live and play in a real-world setting. Their little world is made-up of the popular locations familiar to the millions of visitors to the Smokies. Many who have read the book instantly recognize and respond with "I know that place" or "I've been there too!" -- This is the NewtonTalk list - http://www.newtontalk.net/ for all inquiries List FAQ/Etiquette/Terms: http://www.newtontalk.net/faq.html Official Newton FAQ: http://www.chuma.org/newton/faq/
