The Vicar of Nibbleswicke
by Roald Dahl


Just as J. K. Rowling wrote the Hogwarts school-books to benefit charity (in her case, Comic Relief), Roald Dahl wrote a small and very funny children's book to aid the Dyslexia Society of Great Britain. This story features a kind-hearted young clergyman who, when he's a bit nervous, pronounces words as though they were spelt backward. This results in confusion at best, and scandal at worst, especially when he's trying to say "park" or addressing a pillar of the church named "Mrs. Prewt."

Finally, a fanciful cure is found for the Vicar's problem, creating yet another lovable eccentric among the many who come from the mind of Roald Dahl.

Is Dumbledore right that Hogwarts sorts its students into Houses too soon - while the kids are too young?
