No worries Bannerman65. It was the other two who were being rascals. :wink:
This is a Green Knight Book which means that it is a book by one of the most popular authors of all.

Rascals? Us? :lol: :lol: :twisted:
'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.'

(E. Blyton, Sunday Times, 1951)

Comparisons have been drawn between Fatty and Billy Bunter....especially ventriloquism.

Fatty could be a combination of a number of people Blyton knew/taught etc.

A more brilliant Blyton creation has never existed.
