Oh my god!!! Thank you thank you thankyou... that is it. I never imagined it was by Roald Dahl. My search is finally over. Now to get a copy.

If you know the title of the book, could someone please tell me!! I've been looking for it for years now, with no luck.

people who think they have written the best there is on their first try, is a complete idiot. There is no point posting your work, if you can't take criticisms. I thank you again for your opinions on my work, which has been edited, yet again. I do know what is good in my mind, but sometimes...
