You can't say "well there's a schoolgirl obsessed with the Ark of the Covenant being buried on Dartmoor" for fear it will put people off. I do like Toby and definitely feel the Ark of the Covenant was only an obsession because she had no-one to talk to for miles. In her third book she becomes a Land Girl.

It also provides more information on the future lives of two characters who are a subplot in Dimsie Moves Up Again though it is sad that, as ever, the answer to their future lives is for one to marry the other's brother.
