   translation. 47 p. in The Graveyard of Cathedrals ;
   Starlight (New York : Nantier Beall Minoustchine, 1990). --
   Translation of: Lumière d'Étoile. -- Summary: Rork arrives
   at a little cliffside village in the Mexican desert, which
   has been preparing for a year for an astronomical event
   predicted by an ancient painting on the side of the cliff.
   The effort is being coordinated by Deliah Darkthorne, or
   Low Valley as she now prefers to be called. Low has aged 40
   years in the year and a half since teleporting at the end
   of the Passages album. She is the one who sent the note
   summoning Rork. Low doesn't understand what the "event" is
   going to be, only that a beam of light will come down from
   the sky and that it will have transformational powers. Low
   has placed experiments in the path of the beam, like a
   mouse, a cactus, and an apple. The beam comes, and things
   change, but the results aren't very comprehensible. Low
   takes Rork to another room and shows him her daughter,
   Sy-Ra, who is floating in the air stuck between worlds as
   Rork was near the end of "Passages." Low wants Rork to take
   Sy-Ra to an astrologer to get her fixed up, and Rork
   agrees. Then Low eats the apple from the beam experiment,
   and seems to gain a new sense of well-being and extended
   perceptions. She tells Rork they'll meet again in nine
   months, at his house. -- Call no.: PN6747.A542G713 1990

   Translation of: Lumière d'Étoile. -- Summary: Rork arrives
   at a little cliffside village in the Mexican desert, which
   has been preparing for a year for an astronomical event
   predicted by an ancient painting on the side of the cliff.
   The effort is being coordinated by Deliah Darkthorne, or
   Low Valley as she now prefers to be called. Low has aged 40
   years in the year and a half since teleporting at the end
   of the Passages album. She is the one who sent the note
   summoning Rork. Low doesn't understand what the "event" is
   going to be, only that a beam of light will come down from
   the sky and that it will have transformational powers. Low
   has placed experiments in the path of the beam, like a
   mouse, a cactus, and an apple. The beam comes, and things
   change, but the results aren't very comprehensible. Low
   takes Rork to another room and shows him her daughter,
   Sy-Ra, who is floating in the air stuck between worlds as
   Rork was near the end of "Passages." Low wants Rork to take
   Sy-Ra to an astrologer to get her fixed up, and Rork
   agrees. Then Low eats the apple from the beam experiment,
   and seems to gain a new sense of well-being and extended
   perceptions. She tells Rork they'll meet again in nine
   months, at his house. -- Call no.: PN6747.A542G713 1990

The Astrosmurf

The Astrosmurf / Peyo ; written by Delporte and Peyo ; translated by Anthea Bell and Derek Hockridge. -- 1st American ed. -- New York : Random House, 1979. -- 40 p. : col. ill. ; 28 cm. -- (A Smurf Adventure) -- Call no.: PN6748.S57A8 1979

Summary: A Smurf becomes obsessed with the idea of traveling to another planet, and finally comes up with a plan. He builds a ship in the form of a rocket, with a big propeller powered by his own pedalling. He pedals valiantly but it doesn't work, so he retires to his hut in a great depression. To bring him out of it, Papa Smurf tells him the problem with the ship has been fixed, feeds him a sleeping potion, and says to try again. When Astrosmurf falls asleep pedalling, the rest of the Smurfs disassemble the ship and move it to the crater of an extinct volcano. When he wakes up the other Smurfs have transformed themselves into a tribe of Swoofs, who conduct welcoming exercises that please Astrosmurf so much he wants to stay the rest of his life. This won't do, so the next day the Swoofs present a series of tests which their guest must pass in order to stay with them. He turns out to be able, through luck, to do all sorts of unreasonable tasks, so finally they exaggerate the requirements to a point where he decides to go home. Giving him a sendoff that includes more sleeping potion, the weary Smurfs move the rocket back to their own village and welcome the Astrosmurf back as a hero.
