        Why would you consider these things as errors on TRP's half? Since
Rev. Cherrycoke is the narrator should the question not be how far can we
trust him & his recollection of things? Especially considering the fact that
the story has to be interesting enough for the kids.
        I admit I am not yet to p. 296-555 since we just recently received
the book up here in Iceland, so if I am speaking out of context please
disregard the whole message.
