Absolutely John, I read "The Mouse and His Child" to my kids twenty years ago, nicked the book afterwards and read it again to myself! That book is right up there with the very best. Sorry, not good at literary criticism....

Riddley Walker is marvellous. It always depresses me though - all human achievement reduced to little scraps of misunderstood folklore. I can never work out how Riddley gets it all written down either, maybe he's just telling it over the camp fire.
