Not a personally read book but one my Grandmother told me about. It was a Romance Novel in which the Main Lady was romanced on a balcony as the full moon rose at midnight. All the while, wearing a banana flower in her hair.
However my most favorite inconsistency is the "Children's" cartoon character whose name is "Bar Sinister". The inconsistency is between the name and the fact that it is a cartoon for children.  |
Oh, because the bar sinister was for the illegitimate sons?? I can see that, although I don't think most children would be aware of that one, or rather, of the connotation.
