Yesterday, our local paper, the Chestertown Spy, ran a nice piece on the advent of Bobbledy, revealing, among other tidbits, the origins of the idea and my initial fear of writing books for children.

The author, Dave Wheelan, also suggests (in a roundabout way) that we ought to be offering decoder rings to club members. I’m intrigued by the idea. Are there any enterprising engineers or toy designers in our midst?
