 I just heard that Dick King-Smith died. Sad anyway, but his wife was my form tutor in Sixth Form, and she was fantastic. Damn.

No way! I hadn't heard that...I didn't see it on any of the news sites :( Sad news indeed. I have very fond memories of reading his books, especially the 'Sophie' series, which were some of the first books I read independently when I was in primary school...I can still quote from them now.

Oh yeah, Sophie's Tom...I loved that book. He was definitely one of the great kids' writers.
