"Even when I was 13 it was obvious that TBPWM wasn't 'real' - rather it was an excercise in mawkish propaganda and prescriptive correctness writen at several removes from its subject. The Plains of Waterloo, on the other hand, is very real - it simply tells a story emerging from the reality of human experience, not the fantasy hinterlands of subjective & self-righteous opinion."
