While boggling mildly at an otherwise perfectly sensible jumper with a dissected shirt collar sewn into its neck...

I have seen those too! I mean, I haven't seen the *same* one(s) you were looking at, but I have seen That Sort of Thing at a great big fight-for-the-discounted-clothes shop. I was in a huge rush to find clothes for the new job, and every so often I'd think 'Ooh, lovely argyle sweater in attractive colors--WHY IS THERE PART OF A SHIRT SEWN INTO IT?'

Really, really annoying.

I have little doubt that this boy has recently been partaking in a spot of illicit time travel.

Hurrah! I'm so glad you spotted a time-travelling boy! My new job involves lots of books about time-travelling children (apparently; I tend to lose interest if a child rejects my Beasts of Clawstone Castle or Ellen Tebbits recommendations, so I only have a vague *impression* re: these time-travel books), so I am pleased to know that I can now re-shelf these in the non-fiction section.

Do you think books about time-travelling children should go under 'science' or 'history'?

(Pardon me. I seem to have nothing to say that isn't somehow to do with books. Oof. How are you, please?)
