Re: Amazon UK ...You are most welcome. Re: Pugs parentage... ( ad nauseam)...Now that I have read lengthy references to Pugs parentage dating back to the mid 1990's on Crydee.com... I am still not sure why this still constitutes a spoiler as it is an unimportant fact and does not effect the plot of any of the books. I assume new readers in Thailand will assume Pug had parents. It is only a possible spoiler (more of disappointment really) to realize they are ordinary people just like us....
