Laurel and Hardy's hats are bowlers. There is something Ollie-ish about
Fudge, isn't there? Or am I just under the influence of Jim Dale? (BTW,
someone was wondering about his reading as vs. Fry's. I loved it--it was
the way I first encountered the books, a dear person at work lent me all 4
on tape because I commute a long way--but if you like a very straight,
unaccented reading, skip them. He really acts out each character. I was
very, very impressed. As soon as someone starts talking you know who it is
just from the voice. One other caveat: he is British but reads the U.S.
versions.)
I got curious about the difference between a bowler and a derby so I looked
them up. According to the American Heritage Dictionary they're the same
thing.
