Geoff:
Thus is rather interesting because I don't think this apparent 
difference has been commented on before.

The three Bloomsbury editions - Children's, Adult's and De 
Luxe - normally employ the same text, right down to the 
pagination and page layout being identical and only differ 
in their covers (and cost!).

By coincidence, my eldest son and his wife are coming down
for two nights later today (Friday - this being written at an
hour when all good little boys should be in bed). I gave my 
original paperback POA to Astrid and have asked her to 
bring it with her.

I will keep you posted.
