Letter of the week
Far from grey and dreary
THANK you for the article on ‘BB’ (‘The man behind the little grey men’, October 19). I can still recall my father reading from his original copies of The Little Grey Men and Down The Bright Stream as my bedtime stories as a young child. This led me to discover the Bill Badger stories on the local mobile library and, with it, the thrill of going each month to see if any new stories were available. Later, I moved on to books such as Brendon Chase and Manka The Sky Gypsy and, during the 1980s, enjoyed his journalism in my father’s copies of Shooting Times.
