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)

Re: Hangman
Just one word is puzzling... a "small big boy"? That sounds like a contradiction although it is obviously a sarcastic comment!

Re: Hangman
It's a line that I thought at least a few people here might recognise — the only hint I'm giving is that it's from one of Enid's most popular stand-alone novels...

Re: Hangman
Correct, Daisy! Well done. I chose that one deliberately on the hunch that the unlikely description "small, big boy" would keep people guessing for a bit longer... Your turn now.
