No word of when the next book is due, Sandra. The Prisoner of Azkaban film is due in June as I am sure you already know:-) Quite looking forward to that as well!

I haven't started The Amber Spyglass yet but I am quite looking forward to it.

As an afficiondo of childrens fantasy fiction perhaps you can help in a quest! Do you know Erich Kastners 35th of May? I read it as a kid and recollect it being a wonderfully bizarre fantasy. I have found it on a couple of sites listed as 'limited availability' and giving no price. If you know it can you remind me if it is as good as I remember or am I reading with rose coloured specs?

Cheers
