Not sure I'm sure of the level of reality of any of the books - all part of their stacking russian dolls nature, Cpt. Flint in a book writing a book whilst in fact in some ways being the person who's writing the book in the first place, Dorothea writing books which are in fact the book she's in but in a different genre (was Roger writing a science fiction novel we're still to hear of ?), Titty living books in her head and acting them out. Is there a TARS purist subgroup that forgoes S&A activities and sticks to Crusoe and Treasure Island (maybe Nansen depending on season) based activities ?

It's term time and I'm dreaming in a class room, longing for the holidays......
