I enjoyed this far more than Mr Pye, even though I don't normally enjoy children's books unless there's a child on my lap.

"Lost Uncle" had a lovely feel, doesn't it? I've certainly read it myself more times than" Mr. Pye", but that's probably due to it being shorter and easier. I love Miss Dredger in "Mr. Pye", one of Peake's endearing characters, like Dr. Prunesquallor.
I've only read Pye once. So yes, I agree.
