However, I've enjoyed the film and TV adaptation, so I will read the new one and the two I missed.monixhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16631194815411019266noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22922478.post-88429600726539776622009-07-22T00:18:28.794+01:002009-07-22T00:18:28.794+01:00I think I've read all the No. One Ladies' ...I think I've read all the No. One Ladies' Detective Agency books, although there came a point when I decided I'd read 'tiny white van' enough times and wouldn't read that any more.<br /><br />But I didn't connect the worms with the tree.Harry Eagarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04196202758858876402noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22922478.post-65150211963634085872009-07-21T21:22:18.111+01:002009-07-21T21:22:18.111+01:00Harry, from the picture alone, I'd say the del...Harry, from the picture alone, I'd say the deluxe had sturdier legs!<br /><br />I believe the mopani tree grows only in that region of southern Africa.
