Peter--It was by Wolf Mankowitz and made into a film in 1955. Wolf Mankowitz also later wrote the draft of the Bond film Dr. No but asked his name be removed as he didn't want to be associated with something he thought was going to be a big flop.

Isn't that what Queen Victoria said--she likes to go to bed with a good book, but some of her ladys in waiting prefered a couple of pages instead ?

Maybe by Mrs Natterjack trying to get some piece and quiet so she could read her books in bed thus....

Natterjacks have a very loud and distinctive mating call, amplified by the single vocal sack found under the chin of the male animal.
