Just picked up this edition of H&H and was reading it at the kitchen table with my niece earlier tonight. Browsing through 'horses for sale' section the conversation with said 10 year old went something like:
NIECE "oh my goodness, look at that - there's a unicorn for sale, the LAST one"
Smirking behind our hands....
ME " maybe your Dad will buy it for you, its big enough for him to ride...but how will it fit through the stable door, with its big horn?"
NIECE "It could crouch along the ground until it was in"
ME "why don't you phone up about it?"
NIECE "no, its too late"
ME "I'm sure there's a time difference in Narnia, go on just phone"
NIECE "ok, but what if Mr Tumnus answers?"
ME "look, just give them a call"
NIECE "it says horse & hound offices are closed"
ME "oh"
Niece then calls grandparents to tell them she was getting a unicorn....they tell her its an April fool...
After hysterically crying, she's in bed - but she's getting up early tomorrow to phone H&H office to complain!!!!
