Phoe, but no one seems to know exactly where it came from originally. This time we're talking books. And, as I suspected, I've not read very many of them. For the record I've read maybe four Pratchett books, and the children's books (other than Harry Potter and His Dark Materials) were last read by me many years ago. As I constantly say regarding how I've not seen many of the favourite films of people I know (or those off the IMDB list for that matter), I'm clearly deprived.
