A Blast From The Past

I am reading "The Demon of Dakar" by Kjell Eriksson.Yes, yes, another roman policier, this time a Swedish one.

Suddenly I came across a character called Schonell - a goodie, you will be glad to know.This brought back back so many memories.

Does anyone out there remember Schonell's Essential Spelling List?

Throughout my schooldays I had to take home this book and remember the spellings of so many words, of increasing difficulty as I grew older.Never thought to hear the name again.
