SITE OF THE WEEK

This week's FTPplanet Site of the Week award goes to tony bannister
for his site dedicated to the series of Uncle books by J.P. Martin.

Tony writes: "uncle-tv.com is dedicated to keeping alive the series of
'Uncle' books written by J.P.Martin and is also about my attempts to
develop them into an animated film.

The books are a riot of nonsense and invention. Uncle is an elephant
(although he could just as well have been anything else) who is
fabulously rich and rides about on a traction engine. His house is
surrounded by a moat and includes one hundred skyscrapers. There are
haunted towers and a shop where a bicycle costs a half-penny and another
in which a broken mouse-trap is priced at five hundred pounds. Transport
is by water chute, Iift and switchback railway. Uncle and his friends, a
very odd lot, have a perpetual feud with the Badfort Crowd and there are
exciting battles conducted in a most unconventional way and with no
permanent casualties.

Intriguingly one publisher rejected the books on the grounds that they
were amoral and said Uncle was "a fascist" whereas The Listener
reviewing the first book said "Uncle is a savage attack on a capitalist
society."

The author, a clergyman, originally wrote the stories in the 1930's for
his own children and they were eventually published in the 1960's. Sadly
they are now out of print.

The books were illustrated by the then little known Quentin Blake who is
now, of course, a very popular author and illustrator of children?s
books. In fact the price of second hand copies of the books is quite
high because of the illustrations.

Hope you enjoy the site."

We certainly did. Congratulations on winning, tony!
