Eileen, about feeling as if letting an author down, I'm experiencing that now and I feel bad about it. I happen to have met the author in question. I was enjoying the book, but then a couple of other books seduced me and I never got back to the author's book. It's not that the book wasn't good, but the other books were more compelling.

LOL! Joy, I'm quoting my husband, who always refers to the Bard as Will Waggadagga...just our barmy sense of humour.

LOL - Sue, you sent me on a wild good chase. But I learned something:

Wagga Wagga is a town on the Murrumbidgee River in New South Wales, Australia. (lol)

Also, at the following website,
http://newclues.mugglenet.com/archive...
there are the following words about halfway down the page:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"1. a search on "Willy" turned up two references to Shakespeare; apparently he is also referred to as "Willy Wagga Dagga," and "Bill the Quill."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
(The words are said by Vamanj who has the red icon on the left of the page.)
(They're also talking about somebody named "Willy Widdershins".) LOL

So your husband must have heard "Willy Wagga Dagga" somewhere... but where?
I couldn't find anything else on Google.
I'm always so curious about words. :)

Oh my goodness. Willy Widdershins is a character in the Harry Potter stories. See: ====>

Willy Widdershins! what a great name!

"Widdershins - Counter-clockwise:
From the Middle Low German weddersinnes meaning in a left-handed, wrong or counter-clockwise direction. that widdershins has a connotation of rightness or wrongness as well as direction"
