The Larch!!
So the last two Roald Dahl books I've finished reading were Charlie and the Great Glass Elevator, and Danny, Champion of the World.
The Great Glass Elevator was actually pretty lame. Really only two things happened - a silly story about saving a space hotel from aliens and another silly story about sending old people to the minuses and back again. Danny, well I guess not a whole lot more happened, but it flowed so much more betterer as a story and I enjoyed it a whole lot more.
At the end of Danny there was a reference to some larch trees. Which wouldn't have meant anything to me, had it not been for an episode of Monty Python the other night that kept referring to The Larch trees.
Ok, so small things ;)
