I'm afraid I was an only child but I was inspired by the TV show, Captain Video, and I joined the Science Fiction Book Club very early on. I have thoroughly enjoyed your novels. As you know I've read three of them. I don't need in the drawing as I've read Winifred and really enjoyed it.

I'd round up my friends and we'd act out something from my imagination or we'd take a book we all knew or a film and act it out with the way we would rather it had gone. I was the director! :) I also had older brothers, but they were much older and seldom played with me.
