# That looks very . . .
Oh arse! What's his name?

# More _Felix I'd say.
I think it is rather smashing though.

# It is that.
Are you thinking of the fella who used to be in the New Yorker a lot?

although I see where you are going with that.

# No.
However, this gives me the opportunity to ask "who wrote Toad of Toad Hall?".
(I helped save b3ta! LordManley twitter.com/LordManley, Sun 6 Apr 2008, 14:27, archived)
# Kenneth Grahame?
(0800221155 Coldseal windows, Sun 6 Apr 2008, 14:28, archived)
# Aha!
You fell into my trap!

It was A.A.Milne.
(I helped save b3ta! LordManley twitter.com/LordManley, Sun 6 Apr 2008, 14:29, archived)
# No, A. A. Milne just adapted wind in the willows for theatre.
By this logic, no-one wrote Toad of Toad Hall.

I'm sure I can wiki just as fast as you.
(0800221155 Coldseal windows, Sun 6 Apr 2008, 14:30, archived)
# Hmm,
I think that A.A.Milne wrote it.

In the same way that Robert Greene did not write The Winter's Tale

# Maurice Sendak?
that was my first thought, anyway

# Aw
I'm flattered, unless you meant he wrote Toad of Toad Hall, which sounds unlikely on the face of it.

i just chucked my response up here where it would be seen

just to be clear, I feel the same - I'd like to own that.

# I have just read about the controversy.

# seconded
i rather liked kurt cobain's response when the publishers suggested covering up the baby on the cover of nevermind's penis with a sticker.
he told them they could only cover it up if it had 'if you are offended by a baby's penis, you are a paedophile' on it

# bizarre
I've just read that same question in Jasper Fforde's "The Well of Lost Plots". As such, I'm going to answer A.A. Milne

EDIT: Ah, too late as usual. Anyway, it was Milne. Kenneth Grahame wrote The Wind in the Willows.

# That is precisely where I stole it from.
I am just finishing 'Something Rotten' and then I have an uncorrected bound proof of 'Lost in a good book' which apparently sports an entirely different ending (I am hoping that she recovers Landen in it) to attack.

I think it might be hard going to read something I know and look for the changes - I may skip through by mistake and miss them.

# reminds me
I must find out where my hardback copy of Something Rotten has gotten to. I ordered it a month ago.

Just finishing Well of Lost Plots and then stuck for what to read next. I have First Among Sequels ready and waiting but need to read Something Rotten first.

EDIT: Spanged play.com on the head and cancelled the order. Ordered it from Amazon who say they have it in stock. yay :)

# Ah!
Where is my copy of 'First Among Sequels'?

Have you read The Big Over Easy and The Fourth Bear?

# now there is a truly shit book
it's so very pleased with itself, and spends so much time being smug that it forgets to be any good
(I helped save b3ta! mictoboy shitting in your cunt since, Sun 6 Apr 2008, 14:43, archived)
# I agree to an extent.
The previous 2 and the last one are excellent, as are the Jack Spratt books, but TWOLP is a bit of a let down.

It is still a very good read, but nothing like as good as the others.

Jan something?

Did the Tom Sharpe covers.

Perhaps? Stanley Donwood did his covers. (And Radioheads)

Because the covers of Thom Yorkes album looks like that ^
