I know poet/editor who used to slap my hand like a nun piano teacher if he caught me using nasty little common dashes.
Suffice to say the lesson has stuck 😄

Anne Parrish was a children's writer and Newbery medal winner? Runner up maybe?
They are pretty dated now.

Well at least in Welly you have a 1 in 3 chance that if you wear a big coat and hold your arms out like a sail, the prevailing southerly will do the spinning for you.

And now it's blowing a southerly, raining and we're all diģging jerseys out of the cupboards.
Make up your mind Wellington

I just this minute put down a T Kingfisher I've been looking forward to because I wasn't feeling the doom-laden vibe.

They are psychopaths.
And I expect the books were in fact purchased by their interior designers and have never been read.
The proof of this is that there is no shelf coloured "really munted, bent spine, covered in tape ex library copy, but it's out of print and one of my most prized possessions"
