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)
