My username is loosely based on a figure from an early children book by Tomi Ungerer which I likely had to read many many times for my children when they were young. They didn't get tired to get the same book read over and over again. Wasn't my choice to repeatedly read a book multiple times, they asked me for it.

The book is about a lovely Boa Constrictor which an elderly teacher, Madame Bodot, got from her son. The large and intelligent snake called "Crictor" saves the day against some evil guy in the story. I like Tomi Ungerer as book author and illustrator and somehow this particular book and the Boa's name, slightly modified, stuck with me.
