the rainbow crockett
Volume 4 (Green) Sir Toady Crusoe.
A sequel to ‘Sir Toady Lion.’ Given his very own adventure story, Toady makes the most of it and what follows is an exciting, chaotic romp along the Galloway coast in the company of his cousins Dinky and Saucy Easdaile. He is a character every bit as appealing as Gavroche, The Artful Dodger or Crockett’s own Cleg Kelly. Toady is a likeness of Crockett's own son and he is one of the great gamin characters of fiction, holding his own in what he finds the somewhat irksome surroundings of middle class Scotland.
'He was suffering from an aggravated attack of Toady Lionism, and for the time being, had readopted all his coaxy-woaxy fetchingnesses of pronunciation. As he wore very little clothes, and what he had on were wringing wet, he looked much like a very curly-headed cherub with great big innocent eyes, who had never had a wrong thought nor done a mischievous act in all his life.
Looks are deceitful. Favour is vain.'
