It had such an impact on me I paused at the back door, listening to the reading, waiting to see what this wonderful story was.

I found out at the end of the reading and yes, I was late for work. But as soon as I could I bought the book. Still think, of its kind, the story is wonderful.

They sold game (pheasant, partridge, hares and rabbit) and inadvisedly put a sign in the window next to the wild rabbits for sale saying:

“You have read the book, you have seen the film, now eat the cast”.

As you can imagine. severe and loud were the objections. Some people have no sense of humour.
