Yay! 😁😁😁 such an unexpected opening for that book. Does anyone get my cryptic Saint Saens reference?

Oh my goodness - I don't actually know this book at all  it was fm's 'hint' that made me think of it!

BIG E****g clue above!!!!???

[Froglet]

So, Wilbur reminds me of Babe in Dick King-Smith’s book ‘The Sheep-pig’. The main theme in the film of that book (Babe) (usually sung by mice) is based on Saint Saens organ symphony. I had no idea until I went to see my sister’s university orchestra in a concert  and they played it. My brother recognised it and started singing the words in a mouse voice making me giggle. Cue parental exasperation - I was about 24. I have never forgotten it! Have a look at FM’s video to see what I’m on about!

I do have an idea for another game (as long as I’m not taking over too much?)

I’m just used to no one ever getting the references I make and always having to explain myself. I’m still in shock that someone got Day of the Triffids. No one else apart from my mum and dad reads science fiction!
