The Inspector: ‘That depends upon the context.’
The Inspector: ‘Tickets to One Direction? No.’
The Inspector: ‘Tooting of the horns? Yes!’

'Read The World' By UNICEF To Support Children In Isolation Due To COVID-19 Pandemic
Tumblr media
International Children's Book Day: 'Read The World By UNICEF For Children In Isolation Due To COVID-19New York/Geneva: Much-loved children's authors are joining an initiative to read extracts of their books to millions of children and young people currently living in isolation amid the COVID-19 pandemic. 'Read the World', a collaboration between the International Publishers Association (IPA), the World Health Organization (WHO) and UNICEF, will kick off today, on International Children's Book Day, at 15.00 GMT/17.00 CET (17.30 IST) with Italian author Elisabetta Dami, creator of the popular character Geronimo Stilton, read a UNICEF statement.Elisabetta Dami will read on her personal Instagram account in English from 15.00-15.30 GMT. Dami, whose books have sold more than 180 million copies around the world and are published in 50 different languages, will also respond to comments and questions via the platform. "These are uncharted waters for us all, and the psycho-social effects of prolonged isolation and social distancing are yet to be seen and understood," said IPA President Hugo Setzer. "All of us should take particular care of our mental health at the moment, and especially that of young minds. The IPA wanted to do something positive to bring children and their favourite writers closer, to stimulate their interest in books and to create a carefree moment for families to share during this difficult period of confinement," said Mr Setzer."Children's lives and routines have been turned upside down in just a few short weeks," said UNICEF Executive Director Henrietta Fore. "Even when the outside world is out of bounds for now, reading can remind children and young people that the transportive power of books is unlimited." "WHO is committed to fighting the COVID-19 pandemic on all fronts, especially when it comes to protecting young people," said WHO Director-General Dr Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus. "We understand the fear and anxieties many feel and know how the joy of reading can stimulate young minds, ease tensions and provide hope."Several other noted children's authors have agreed to join the Read the World initiative, details of which will be available soon at https://www.unicef.org/coronavirus/read-the-world, the statement from UNICEF read.Click here for more Education News   Read the full article

‘So, it’s smaller on the inside?’
‘I prefer to call it cozier.’

Naturally, the Inspector arrives at Fezziwygg’s Amusement Centre with Geneva and her charges to find that it’s been abandoned for centuries.
Yet, despite the all the years, the rides and the castle appear to be very well maintained, which probably was a tip-off that something was going on.

After years of refusing to comment on the topic,
Lyman Spong finally admitted that the Half-Breed of Series 10 was the combined efforts of the Inspector and Constable Geneva, which created the threat to the Infinity Knights that they never saw coming.

It was tortuous to watch the Inspector admit to knowing that he’d lost memories of Geneva
right to Geneva’s face in ‘Heaven Turned’.

The programme has been criticised many times over the years for the heavy-handed way the writers tackled major social issues,
such as Geneva taking the decision to activate the bomb that destroyed the creature inside the Moon, which was likened to her aborting her own baby.

Although the Inspector, the Sergeant and a couple other Infinity Knights have been shown reincarnating,
the Inspector’s Associates who meet their demise always die for good. (Except for Geneva Stilton, who’s still out there, living between breaths and effectively immortal.)

It never made sense that the Inspector was so opposed to Geneva’s relationship with Gordie Fuschia,
given that Gordie has participated in Voluntary Service Overseas, a social-service organisation, something the Inspector always claimed to support.

In ‘Shoot the Moon’, Geneva correctly pointed out that the moon-egg’s shell
would devastate the Earth if any of it made it through the planet’s atmosphere.

It was cruel but dramatic when Sissy stomped on
Geneva’s hand to make her fall into the pit on Blorgonnon.

There were a few times in which Geneva acted in the Inspector’s stead,
so much so that she even claimed she was the Inspector!
‘Of course I’m the Inspector!’

Geneva’s relationship with the Inspector runs the gamut
between the Eleventh and Twelfth Inspector eras.

How many times has the Inspector threatened disproportionate response upon an enemy
when his/her back has been up against the wall?

It’s rather interesting that Geneva appeared in 2016 during ‘In the Desert of the Day’
even though she was treated as dead because of her ‘unexplained disappearance’ in 2015.

Because of the intense amount of development, especially of the relationship between the Twelfth Inspector and Geneva Stilton,
Series 10 was seen as a step up, and almost standard-bearer to the rest of the series of his tenure.
