They are not sequels, but the many of the same characters dip in and out of: Brother of the More Famous Jack; Temples of Delight; Juggling; The Travelling Hornplayer. Noah's Ark and Frankie and Stankie are not in the sequence. And Joy of Joys: there is a new Trapido next May. It is to be called Sex and Stravinsky.Alexandra Pringlehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13802522297265865414noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-446727280609751914.post-29433143934863799632009-09-13T03:05:52.962+01:002009-09-13T03:05:52.962+01:00Oh, I love Barbara Trapido, just hearing her name ...Oh, I love Barbara Trapido, just hearing her name makes me want to go pick up one of my unread books by her!
