Reader's note

Coming Up For Air is one of George Orwell's lesser known works but it is more relevant than ever with its themes. Main character George Bowling is trying to have a peaceful bath when he is interrupted by his son - 'Dadda! I wanna come in!' 'Well, you can't. Clear out!' 'But dadda! I wanna go somewhere!' 'Go somewhere else, then. Hop it. I'm having my bath.' 'Dad-DA! I wanna GO SOME--WHERE!' No use! I knew the danger signal. The W.C. is in the bathroom--it would be, of course, in a house like ours. I hooked the plug out of the bath and got partially dry as quickly as I could. As I opened the door, little Billy--my youngest, aged seven--shot past me, dodging the smack which I aimed at his head. It was only when I was nearly dressed and looking for a tie that I discovered that my neck was still soapy. - I think most parents can relate! This bright orange penguin, can take pride of place in any library!
