James Wood's mention of Fielding's chapter headings
("in which such & such") which A.A. Milne also uses...
made me wonder about parallels betw
V. and Pooh chronicles...
V. uses the same type of chapter headings
Benny Profane even sounds a bit like "Winnie the Pooh"
Piglet roughly equates to Pig Bodine
Ploy, like Eeyore, has to be talked out of depression
Rooney Winsome, Roo, and his wife could stand for Kanga...
When Benny climbs into the museum, it's a bit like
Pooh climbing up the tree for the honey
(somebody's probably already done this better)
