Perhaps its subconscious, as in, they are less likely to see me, warts and all, so I've got a better chance  ;)
Don't buy your daughters a pony, buy them heroin instead, its cheaper and ultimately less addictive.

Not that I'm aware of. I tend to think of Ladybird books as a 1950s thing, and at that time I don't think they would have been too keen on a book dedicated to a German hero. They did do Alfred the Great and Alexander the Great though.

Alas, no SYW that I can see .... but definitely not your 1950's image :)

I always wished there had been a Ladybird Book of Ladybirds.
