A second choice could have been Stephen, who is another chocolate Fry. His
books "The Liar" and "The Hippopotamus" are very funny, but I'm not sure
whether the humour would cross the Atlantic successfully. Also to be
recommended is his collection of essays, "Paperweight".

Query: Is he close enough in the line of succession to get a cut when I
buy a packet of Fry's Turkish Delight? Not that he needs it, with all
the money he gets from "Me and My Girl"...
