Very quick one -- I should be working on the speech but
Jennifer Tanner sent me this:
"book covers with pictures of ladies (often holding candelabras) running away from ominous houses with one light on in an attic room?"
check! look here

While not an enormous collection, it does sound like the webmistress has far more than are showcased and might be able to help you find a specific image.
Exactly what I needed! You really can find anything on the internet.
And the response from UK readers is 75-25 in favour of "a sunday roast" being a chicken, with many people adding that they'd be surprised if it was anything else, and the minority stating that, no, a roast is part of something that once wandered around on four legs, as it is in the US.
Thanks. Back to work...

I enjoyed listening to this podcast about the book May I Pet Your Dog. This books sounds like it is a great way to have children learn some very important things about dogs. While many of us have dogs at home who are our pets, children need to understand that some dogs are not our friends and this book seems to present that fact well. I also enjoyed listening to you both talk about the illistration, while I have not looked at this book personally I can tell there are some great pictures to go along with what seems like very valuable text.
