My thanks go to Martine Walsh for commissioning this
project, Caroline Thiriau for overseeing it and to my editor,
Christine Barton Geographically, we couldn’t have been
much further away from each other but all three have
helped to make the writing of this book a pleasure I’m
particularly grateful that Christine found enough ‘slips’ to
make me feel confident in the contents of the book and not
so many as to make me feel insecure!
Thanks also to Alex (7) and Fraser (9) for their
contributions to ‘Mum’s words’ Alex suggested the word
‘harsh’ for Unit 18 and Fraser’s current favourite word
‘random’ also made it into the same unit!
