I often ask children when I visit schools if they know where Burmeon is. The answer, of course, is in my imagination, which gets them talking about what's in their own imaginations.

I'm thrilled that Bother is based in Southeast Asia. The past certainly is a dangerous (or foreign) country. As for titles, how about "Scrimmage in Singapore" or "Duels in Delhi?" Love the suggestions so far.

Yes, the influence of Biggles and Worrals (of the WAAF, also by Capt W.E.Johns for those that don't know her) is definitely at play! And Brooklands Museum should have both books in stock in the museum shop. My dad - who inspired the character of Grandpop in the books - spent many happy hours in his retirement helping with the restoration of the Wellington bomber "R for Robert" at Brooklands.S.P.Mosshttp://www.burmeon.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4496559191887463909.post-47566683405725005952014-06-03T07:39:09.586+01:002014-06-03T07:39:09.586+01:00A great guest post on a great blog !

Susan your book title flung me back to the days when I grew up reading books like Biggles, Emil and the Detectives, Alibaba and the 40 thieves and does anyone remember Worrells stories? It is sad that children cannot experience magical play time as those days, I always think that we lived through real adventures during those days however small they were. We played outdoors and made those make believe adventures and thought of ourselves as characters from Enid Blyton books or Biggles. <br />I was thinking of a title Mysterious Happenings in the Jungle. <br />I live very close to Brooklands is your book on display there? I could pop over and see it.Shashi Nayagamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12104875758016386977noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4496559191887463909.post-66065509259107199532014-06-02T19:46:00.699+01:002014-06-02T19:46:00.699+01:00Thanks, Stephanie.
