Love An Inspector Calls, all of Enid Blyton (despite how un-PC she is/was), have never been able to get into Bill Bryson.
Thanks for the mention - that was a lovely surprise when scrolling through new blog posts :)
PS Have you ever read Joyce Grenfell's rather nasty observation of a "children's writer" - very much aimed at Enid Blyton?
no not read that...maybe I will! Thanks for the comment x
