Bear with me here, please.
8 or 9 months ago, under pressure from my writing group. I used our small, nondescript terrier as the main character in a story for children (6 - 8 yr-olds). Laking Tyke is his name and the resulting story has been very popular with local children of the right age. A second story also hit the right note.
One of these children, a little girl, 'M', has had pains in her leg and a very recent visit to A&E revealed on X-ray a 'cyst' or 'tumour' in her tibia - about 3" long and almost through the bone. She had gone to A&E in her 'Wonderwoman' costume and they were brilliant - gave her a 'Wonderwoman' coloured cast to prevent the leg from breaking, a gold zimmer-frame and bandaged her teddy.
She will be going to Birmingham at the beginning of next week - and t.b.h. the prognosis is not good - she will probably lose her leg below the knee.
I am trying to write a 'Laking Tyke meets Wonderwoman M' story to accompany her, but am drawing a blank on what a modern child's idea of Wonderwoman is.
The new film seems far too harsh for a little girl, but M's costume seems to involve a floaty skirt and not the starry knicker-shorts of the TV version with which I am familiar.
Any help please with what she should look like and the powers ascribed - I have an idea for a story, but don't want to get the detail wrong.
Fingers crossed. :)

Still in use round here, Z-M and in several places I've been.
Good! Our Viking heritage is important! Enjoy your wine.
Must admit, I haven't lived in my place of birth (Cleckheaton area) since 1987, so.....

'Cleckhuddersfax!' I took my driving test there and lived at Hunsworth for a few years in the late '70s.
Jourdain, may I ask whereabouts in Hunsworth? I have relatives there.

Boringly, on the Whitehall Rd.. House called 'Aysgarth' just above the Post Office. I (and later toddler & lab.) would walk up to the litle shop almost daily and down to the wood by the motorway.
I know it well and have played in the woods (before the flippin’ M62 cut it in half). Did you go in the Savile Arms?
Question Author
Oh, yes! Not often, we may have seen each other, Zacs.
Probably. I think either Ken Dennison or Denise may have been Landlord/Landlady around then. My mum and dad were regulars.

Very interesting, Jourdain.
