Hi ,
It looks like you're using an ad blocker.



The revenue generated from the adverts on the site is a critical part of our funding - and it's because of these ads that I can offer the site for free. But using the site for free AND blocking the ads doesn't feel like a great thing to do, which is why this box is so large and inconvenient. Some sites will completely block your access, but I'm not doing that - I'm appealing to your good nature instead. Did you know that you can allow ads for specific sites, whilst still blocking them on others?

Thanks,
Ian Williams aka Fetch
or for an ad-free Fetcheveryone experience!

I was pondering the similarity with “a little princess” by Hodgson Burnett yesterday, written a good 50 years before. I still think Secret Garden is a cracking book but i reckon little princess, with all its making friends with the mice in the attic, would fit a lot more in the poverty porn bracket but then it had A Moral, whereas this i think was Capote experience of being a charity case

Got something to say?
