When he was small, my brother's hero was Nelson. I remember us being told that Nelson's name was really DAVID HORATIO NELSON (my brother's name is David), and we believed our parents. It was only recently when I was reading about Nelson to my own son that I queried with my husband why the name David was not mentioned in the Ladybird book - OOPS!!!!!
