great book that
a brilliant junior school teacher used that book along with 'Danny Champion of the world' and a few others to ignite in me a love of books that I still have today

I owe that man a lot

Cheers Mr Salisbury!

I went...
...straight from Biggles to Playboy.

But I still read books aloud to my children at school whatever age they were. Danny Champion of the World was a particular favourite, as was Rebecca's World, by Terry Nation.
