What, you think she looked after them? No chance. I'd rather have Uncle Paxford take care of them!

She did help with the looking after them, but not in a very nice way. For instance, she refused to allow them to eat dinner with the "family" and sent meager dinners up to their rooms.

Did they explode when you drop them in diet Coke?

It's amazing to think I was seven years old when he died, and I had never heard of him or his books. It was the same year that my older sister and I joined the library; we each used to get four books every second Saturday, and I'd usually read half of mine by the end of the day! I don't recall ever seeing the books in the public library or our school library, but they had lots of other English children's classics and modern (1950s) ones, plus American ones that gave me a new insight into a different world.
My parents were already adults when the books were published, and emigrated to NZ between LWW and PC; they weren't familiar with them.
I sometimes wonder what it would have been like to have read them as a child; but of course we are never told what would have happened!

I was in utero when Jack died, and it was too dark to read the Chronicles at that point.
