Hi Kneasey
Just re-reading your post. You mention a relative speaking to 
Tressell just after the book was published.  But Tressell never lived 
to see his book published. He left the manuscript to his daughter and 
it was some years after his death that the book was finally published 
(in a much bowlderised form)  Perhaps your relative spoke to Kathleen 
(the daughter) who was very much her father's confidante. I met her 
when she was a very old lady, but still as sharp as a pin.
