Does T.A.R.S. have something to do with Arthur Ransome? I loved those books - fotunately they were all held in my small central Illinois library - I suspect that was probably a bit rare in an Illinois farming village. When the library burned I bought a complete set, ordered from England, to be sure other children had to chance to read them. I was amazed that they were still in print; I should have known better.

Have you discovered the website (McGonagall Online)? It's a fantastic resource on the Great Bad Poet. One essay in particular, "The Real McGonagall" by Gord Bambrick, has pretty much convinced me that McGonagall may actually have been a skilled satirist, rather than a merely bad poet. But because we'll never know for sure, the uncertainty adds an extra frisson of mystery to his poems.
