It was a nuisance. An adventure was one thing - but an adventure without anything to eat was quite another thing. That wouldn't do at all. (The Valley of Adventure)

Definitely one for people over a certain age! It reminds me of a very funny scene from the musical version of Billy Elliot!

So... how does anyone distinguish this from something genuinely written by the author named on the cover?

With some difficulty, I'd say, Pete. My two grandsons, aged 8 and 5, have started reading Enid Blyton books and they would think these dreadful books were the 'real thing'. :cry:

The biggest 'joke' of all is that these poor excuses for humorous satire are still 'available for pre-order'! :evil:
'Oh voice of Spring of Youth
hearts mad delight,
Sing on, sing on, and when the sun is gone
I'll warm me with your echoes
through the night.'
