Hiya,
Funnily enough was looking him up today ready for ensuing Steeleye album based on his books. I love fantasy, write myself, & I've had him recommended a daft amount of times. Just got the significance of one of the names: Tiffany Aching. It cracked me up. The sort of thing you've got to read twice to get, I think. Am I right ??
All I can remember from his stuff is this:
& "& if you ain't got a penny, Foul Ole Ron yodelled, solo, "then fff****_yer mmmfff......."
So either his books weren't/aren't very good, as in not to my taste; there's always one who thinks differently, & that one's usually me. Maybe I wasn't the right age for them or something ?? I'll try again.
I've known, & do know, quite a few men like Foul Ole Ron, & get/have got on really well with them.
