The Henry Sugar:
2 parts Bombay Sapphire
1 part lime-flavored authentic wormwood absinthe (to see without your eyes)
generous portions of club soda and lime grenadine
serve in a teardrop tumbler with a sugar-lined rim
PS: I am saving up to buy your book! for the moment i need to eat and re-read Henry Sugar, but soon my hard earned dollars will be flowing your way. i think i'll order it from my local bookstore, and hopefully they'll order more copies!

As an adult I might have more perspective and less sensitivity to that stuff--Oh, who am I kidding. I still don't watch horror movies.

Hmm, how much more insane could that sound? I could swear it was in a Dahl story that I read pre-10yo, but I've yet to come across it again. Help?

Suggestion suggestion for next FINE LINES: can we look at Eva Ibbotson? I sort of think of her as the mirror image of Roald Dahl - her books are magical, delightful and positive almost in the opposite ways that Dahl's are magical, subversive and oftentimes twisted.

Needless to say, my future children will certainly be getting all my old Dahl books. They do something to your childhood perspective that, looking back, was really valuable.
