Mr Benn - what was it all about?

Andersen Press publish the books of David McKee, author of the Elmer the Elephant books and creator of Mr Benn. Remember Mr Benn? "As if by magic, the shopkeeper appeared"? I have many happy childhood memories of watching his all-too-short adventures, which all started in that fascinating costume shop. Some brief surfing turned up the following excellent website - Mr Benn - What was it all about? - which comprises 12 theories about the deeper meaning of Mr Benn. Great stuff, by someone who truly cares about the world of Mr Benn. It's sites like that which make the Internet worthwhile.

My own Sophie and the Albino Camel (8+) is also to be published by Andersen Press (launch date is 6 April 2006), and if anyone out there would like to set up the website 'Albino Camel - what was it all about?', feel free. There are some fairly deep redemptive analogies in there if you look hard for them! More about that later...
