Paddington Bear was my second best stuffed animal friend as a child (Rowlf will always have first claim on my heart) and under the influence of his literary adventures, I cultivated a love of marmalade which endures into my thirties. As does my love of the sound of Peru (the actual word) which comes from the same source.
ReplyDeleteMy appreciation of Gilbert & Sullivan is all from Rowlf.
