What did you think of JA's youthful spelling? Did it bother you, or did it enhance (or should that be "inhance??") the story?

Definitely (should it be "definitlly"? ;-)), it adds to the charm of the story. May I point at another wonder child, nine-year-old Daisy Ashford, with her "The Young Visiters" (sic). Barry did quite right to publish it without changing the author's spelling. So child-like. :D JA's story, too, is painted in primary colours, like a child's picture.
