Raymond Briggs

[spudtater]

Everybody knows Raymond Briggs as the much-loved author/illustrator of The Snowman and Father Christmas. But did you know he also wrote a book about a kindly old couple, Jim and Hilda Bloggs, attempting to deal with the aftermath of a nuclear attack? And a book called "The Tin-Pot Foreign General and the Old Iron Woman" about... well, you work it out.   8^)

Also: No idea what sort of crap to get your family and friends for christmas?

Yes, once again, I should be working.   8^P

Dear James,

I find your statement suspect, given that the name "James" did not even appear in the book — according to wikipedia, that name was inserted into the film by one of the animators, whose son was named James.
