frankie Posted March 26, 2014 Author Share Posted March 26, 2014 This sounds so familiar... Or then my mind is playing tricks on me. But I can't think of a British male children's classic author to save my life! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dtrpath27 Posted March 26, 2014 Share Posted March 26, 2014 Yay! I've been watching this thread for a while, but it's normally so obscure that even after seeing the answer I have no clue. So does that mean that I come up with the next quote? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

frankie Posted March 26, 2014 Author Share Posted March 26, 2014 Well done for knowing Winnie the Pooh, dtrpath27! I have never read the book, so the only reason I can think of for the quote to sound familiar, is that poppyshake has used to get me interested in reading the book As for the new one... Doesn't seem familiar. I'm just going to guess and say Brett Eason Ellis? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vimes Posted March 26, 2014 Share Posted March 26, 2014 This is a wild guess but is it the new pratchett book? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dtrpath27 Posted March 26, 2014 Share Posted March 26, 2014 No on both. Soo...Contemporary British (specifically Welsh) author known for his quirky sense of humor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
