Intriguing Search Terms.

I’ve mentioned before that I’m often intrigued by the search terms people use, and from which they come to this blog. The latest is Dr Pangloss Avalon.

I’m at a loss to see the connection between Voltaire’s character and the mythical isle, unless it’s in the good doctor’s phrase ‘the best of all possible worlds.’ The reference points, however, are very different.

I’m wondering whether there’s a mention of Avalon in Candide, but I don’t remember one. Then again, it’s a very long time since I read it, so maybe somebody can enlighten me.
