Everything you need to know about collecting the books of the Bellairs Corpus:
Established in 1830 and expected to become the state's capital, Marshall, Michigan has become one of America's largest historic districts. Resident and Bellairs fan Ann LaPietra researched and compiled the John Bellairs Walk of the city's locations in the author's hometown that became memorable places from his books.
Downtown Haverhill, Massachusetts is where you'll find artist Shelia Foley's John Bellairs Mural, a seven-by-three foot outdoor mural created to look like the stained glass windows of Canterbury Cathedral and part of that city's revitalized downtown area.
Take a step back in time and see how Bellairs fandom on the Internet got started and how it’s changed over the last 20 years. Your first stop on this figurative trolley to yesterday is Jonathan Abucejo’s CompleatBellairs. For eight years this unique and artistically brilliant site reigned supreme with character biographies; book synopses detailing the good, the bad, and the ugly; and other features for the fans.
