Are any of his books worth mentioning by title? They are what makes him encyclopedia-material, ostensibly. --Wetman (talk) 20:51, 9 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Julius Caesar, Kings and Queens of England, Castles of the British Isles are some perhaps, Red rocket boy 20:55, 9 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Well, which one is it?

The first sentence under Life says that he is the third and only son of a naval officer. This may come as a shock to you, but it is not possible to be the third son of a naval officer AND the only son of a naval officer. Unless he is the third son, and only SURVIVING son, but then again since he isn't exactly surviving at the moment, this would be incorrect as well. Would someone who knows which one he is fix this? —Preceding unsigned comment added by LordArros (talk • contribs) 08:32, 11 December 2007 (UTC) I am his nephew (his elder sister's third child and second son) so, I hope, qualify as "someone who knows which one he is". The answer is that 'Uncle Robin', as we knew him, was the third child and only son of Lt.Cmdr. Peter Fry.[reply]
