No Bad Language:
The first edition of this book included one instance of mild language and another instance, in which one character calls out the Lord's name in surprise, when a little white dog walks into the room. Both these instances have been removed. All paperback and digital editions sold by Amazon are free of bad language. Although we cannot guarantee that Amazon still has a couple of old paperbacks stocked in one of their many warehouses, we can promise this: Should Amazon, for some unlikely reason, send you the old paperback version - please contact timmi(at)timmitobbson.com and we will exchange it for free.
Please do not buy used books and do not buy the hardcover edition if you want to receive the updated version.
