Mr. Men books are good, so are the In the Night Garden serialised books, but they can be a bit heavy reading for chilling though, so yeah Mr. Men books.

I'm on the same wavelength - CJ's description of the dunny-man tripping over his bike will stay with me for ever.

I seem to remember TS's Riotous Assembly being very funny but not much else of his came close.

I would put forward The Restraint of Beasts by Magnus Mills

Not read that one, I'll see if they've got it at my local book emporium.

DP's Walter Mitty thread reminded me. James Thurber wrote some very good stories.

I expect to be disappointed though.

I expect your expectations to be fully met.

Why can't they leave the 'classics' alone?

I read somewhere the other day that 'The Wind in the Willows' was to have a sequel featuring a new, fiesty, female character. WTF?
