Mount Pleasant

In my copy of LIAGB (UK paperback), the contents list chapter 13 to be "Mount Pleasant" and to begin on page 142. Going to the page in question I find the last page of the previous chapter. The next page is the start of chapter 14.

Who has stolen my chapter, and what was it about?

It's a little joke put there by Jasper, no chapter 13. There isn't a chapter 13 in book one and three either, if you've not noticed or read them.

I hadn't noticed that. Wow. What sweet madness is this?

I had half hoped that there was something wrong with my book and it was therefore worth thousands. Oh well. Back to the drawing board.

Thanks for clearing that up.

As far as we've been able to tell, they're all locations near his home....the stinker! LOL

But we can't be sure - Mt Pleasant is pretty common, so could be anywhere, but Capel-y-ffin is a real place with a rather lovely church/chapel/wassname
