Alice in Wonderland? The borrowers? Or anything that has been adapted for TV lately.

Tracy Beaker? Or any other Jacqueline Wilson books, come to that. Or how about Roald Dahl? I'm thinking Charlie and the Chocolate factory or the BFG.

Which Disney princess "book" are they from?

personally id suggest jungle book just on principles
since Baden-Powell asked his friend Rudyard Kipling for the use of his Jungle Book history and universe as a motivational frame in cub scouting. Baden-Powell wrote a new book, The Wolf Cub's Handbook, for junior members. In 1917, junior members became known as Wolf Cubs.

Thank you all for the ideas. I'll let you know how we get on, and if it's any good I'll post it on here for those who may have a use for it!

Does anyone still have a reference/link/details of the "crypticified song lyrics" game we had back there at DVP? I thought that at least some had been brought over here too but (admittedly cursory) searching hasn't shown them up so far.

Oh yes, I remember those. But I don't know where they are, sorry. Cenwulf is often a good bet to remember things like that. :D

This was one thread I copied into Word as it was such a good puzzle thread.
I don't think it made it over here, but here's the copy.
The puzzles are grouped under setter's login name... or names. ;)
It also includes the answers and whoever got it, or if it was unsolved.

Thank you from me as well. I got some nice memories and quite a few smiles reading through that :)
