Well seeing as how I've been outed I'd like to thank Catherine for 
the original steer.

Congrats to you David looks as if you had as much fun with your 
piece as I did! I'm only sorry I couldn't find a place for Snape, no 
bats in The Hundred Acre Forest as I recall, anyway Snape didn't 
seem compatible!

To everyone else I'd like to ask who do you think is missing? I'd 
like to see Ian Fleming "The name's Potter, Harry Potter" with 
Hermione as 'M'. Possibly Shakespeare's Hamlet, dead parents, 
ghosts, it's got to be worth a stab (ouch)! Seeing as how TV seems 
to be 'authorial' (Scooby Doo???) how about the X Files or Star Trek 
the original?

My favourites so far are the Chaucer (which rocks), Jane Austen and 
Jeeves and Wooster.

Jo
