You've started a Christianna Brand mini-revival and I think that's beautiful!
I just CAN'T with the fact that the heroine ends up with a man named Chucky. I just CAN'T. True, it turns out that Carlyon is a murderer, but on the other hand a name like Carlyon makes up for a lot! (Well, it is an assumed name... but you know who could have assumed a name if he ever wanted to be a romantic hero? CHUCKY.)
I strongly suspect that Christianna Brand snickered up her sleeve whenever she wrote a Chucky scene, imagining the impossibility of anyone shipping a man name Chucky. Miss Brand, I'm thinking, is secretly Miss Let's-Be-Lovely.
