But there are LOADS of books F&Z - stop tempting me, you have no idea how much I spend on books already (actually I have no idea how much I spend on books, I started to add it up once but got frightened ).

I see from Wikipedia that she had published plenty of other books while I was still young enough to be reading them, I don't know why I didn't.

Toadhill Flax. It was Peter who rode her horse, Toad, because he was Peter's horse first and he always rode him much better anyway

What did they call it? The old Capritch?

He is the BEST romantic hero ever, though, tons better than Darcy or Rochester even

I only ever read the Flambards series, which I loved. I haven't read any others, but it's possible that I'm just too old if they were published after Flambards. I only read the last book of Flambards when I bought the series for DH's niece because it was published after I'd grown up (it wasn't as good as the first 3 I don't think).

pointydog · 28/03/2007 20:39

oh crikey, ludwig - yes!

elasticbandstand · 28/03/2007 20:39

he wanted to take care of his hands??
was there a canal?

Lio · 28/03/2007 20:38

And Pennington played Rondo Capriccioso in assembly. And all through my first pregnancy we called the bump Ludo, but dh still doesn't know it was because of Ruth and Pat's baby, Lud (for Ludwig). God, how bad is it to have SUCH a major crush on a fictional talented bad-boy .

Lio · 28/03/2007 20:36

Ruth's horse was called Toadflax something. And Ruth got her period on the day of some big event and someone else rode her horse and she was jealous because the rode him better than she ever could. But it was all wonderful. And there was Peter someone. McNee?
