I contributed to the thread 'silly books' which started off because CC and BS got lumped together with PD & ML (I think most of us agree those two are fictions of the characters - if you see what I mean!) Now, this is not the first time that there has been negative comments about CC and BS, has it something to do with the fact they are not set on the Lakes and don't involve any of the S & As (except for passing references by the Ds)?
As a child I read them both quite soon after some of the others and visited the Norfolk Broads on family holidays, whereas I didn't go to the Lakes until some years later. Does this have a bearing?
