SAT In Aunt Arabelle in Charge, William and his faithful Outlaws SAT (Ginger, Douglas and Henry) encounter a strangely complacent SAT six year old who is staying in the village. This odious SAT child turns out to be the hugely famous Anthony Martin, SAT subject of his mother's best-selling books and poems. SAT The Outlaws need to redeem themselves in the admittedly SAT short-sighted eyes of Ginger's journalist aunt. She, SAT equally, is desperate to secure an exclusive interview with SAT the child star. It's soon clear that this wonderfully SAT constructed story is a brilliant parody of - who else - A.A. SAT Milne's Christopher Robin. SAT The packed Winchester audience understood this at once. In SAT Jarvis' inhabitation of both the smug infant and Ginger's SAT aunt, the comedy is unremitting. SAT Can William sort this out and, incidentally, give the SAT horrific child his just desserts? Blackmail is the answer, SAT of course.
