I'd be hard put to name a favourite though. <br />Your casting sounds good - I'm always surprised the books haven't been made into a TV series or film yet.Clothes In Bookshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14680610242823846662noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6129427507761315524.post-59409787122044046582017-08-22T19:45:17.129+01:002017-08-22T19:45:17.129+01:00I think this is my favorite Dandy, so far.

All the characters were a little fuller, too. Even Hugh and Donald had a bit more to do than their usual cardboard cut-out behavior.<br /><br />I couldn't help but think of Imelda Staunton's Dolores Umbridge whenever she described Ivy Shanks.

And let's face it; undergarments are a pretty basic part of one's wardrobe. Why not focus on them? Oh, and I do like the writing in the passages you've shared - thanks :-)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
