Abstract
This chapter details Rupert's life between 1936 and 1937. He signed an agreement with Methuen for yet another publication, to be called A Book of Marvels, to be part of their Fountain Library series. This was in fact simply a re-publication of seven of the chapters from Oddities and Enigmas, mostly just reprinted, but occasionally with footnotes added. Owing to his great popularity on Children's Hour, Gould was invited to contribute articles to the Radio Times, several appearing in 1936, and one in each of the Children's Hour annuals in 1935, 1936, and 1937.
