My favourite fairy tale was "The Remarkable Rocket", I even managed to get a reference into my Higher English story.

He had quite a life, and tragic as well as short. He had the same condition as my husband Malfran's Syndrom. Some of the symtomes are tall with enlongated etremities. Can cause an early death, as the blood is prone to clot, and rupture the heart.

I enjoy reading about authors lives, I sometimes find them more interesting that the author's themselves. I know you like him, but I find Dickens Life more interesting than his stories.
