Anak Krakatau, the "Child Of Krakatoa" born from the depths of the caldera left in the seabed by the catastrophic eruption of 1886 seems to be entering its lusty adolescence . I have a Krakatau Number of 3, having talked to Luis Alvarez about the eruption in 1984. He got an eyewitness account from his sometime WWII boss, Norden, of the eponymous bombsight, who was born in Batavia ( now Jakarta) a dozen years before the big bang.

At some point in prehistory, an earlier caldera-forming eruption occurred, leaving as remnants Verlaten, Long, Poolsche Hoed, and the base of Rakata. Later, at least two more cones (Perboewatan and Danan) formed and eventually joined with Rakata, forming the main island of Krakatoa. The dating of these events is currently unknown; the Sunda Strait was first mentioned by Arab sailors around 1100 AD.

I agree. The old favourites never fail me when I'm restless or just can't settle or have just read a terrific book & nothing else seems right as the next read. Rereading can be blissful.

Instead, I suspect the most likely explanation is a utilitarian one: the principal didn't want to have to deal with potentially inappropriate costumes and the inevitable disciplinary and parental hassles that go along with that.
