I come from Des Moine. Someone has to. From Bill Bryson’s Lost Continent. One of ten first lines we used in an assessment task back in the day. English teachers appreciated it more than students, it seemed!😂

Haha. That's a good one. Very Bill Bryson. Here's another I've always liked. ‘There was a boy called Eustace Clarence Scrubb, and he almost deserved it.’ From The Voyage of the Dawn Treader, C S Lewis.

Wonderful offering Rosie, thank you. I've printed it out and have it next to me to remind and inspire and guide the art of hooking. I'm dreaming into every chapter being a delicious hook!
