So Ian, having had such a filling meal of tea and cake, decided to go to bed and try again in the morning.

And then he went to bed, and after an hour or two decided that perhaps going to sleep now he was there would be a better idea still.

So next morning, awake and refreshed, he headed for the town, which flattered the town - even though it had no idea why Ian was heading for it, it still seemed like a kind gesture.

Once he was there, he decided that it would be a good idea to go to the library and see if he could find a map which would have the land of nod in it. So he did, and went out of the town, since he had realised the library was not in the town at all, so he had headed for no reason.

So after a while he reached the library and went in to be greeted by the smiling librarian, who reminded Ian that he had two books three months overdue - Mr Strong and Little Miss Clever. Ironically, they were the only times you could use those adjectives in the same sentence as Ian.

Ian went back into the library and asked Kel. "Do you know where the land of nod is, Kel?"

"Yes, indeed I do know," said Kel "It is...
