“During my childhood I always enjoyed a good detective story. First there was Pookie the little rabbit with wings, next Rupert the clever bear of Nutwood (always solving mysteries), then Hergé’s masterpiece Tintin and finally Conan Doyle’s Holmes; who at 10 became my bedside reading. The two volumes of the complete works are still read with as much pleasure as when I was a child”
