Biggles Flies South. My brother is a mad Biggles fan and I'd thought I'd read them all to him. Until this week when I happened across Flies South. Never heard of it before. I guess given I've got Flies East, Flies West and Flies North I should have guessed there was a Flies South as well. Anyway find of the week for me. It's just a middling Biggles adventure as he hunts for a lost Oasis in the desert and happens across an ancient, previously undiscovered tribe of Arabs who try to feed him to a crocodile as part of a ritual. It gets pretty racist in parts but you expect that from Biggles and that can't really be the reason it's obscure as there's far worse to be found in other adventures.
Also tried to read Veronica Lake's autobiography which definitely appears to be ghost written. Turns out I don't care enough about Veronica Lake to put up with the prose stylings on show here.
