so I decided to see how far the stories were similar because of the PBS show. In the last chapter it was shown that Siegfried had two children, Alan and Janet, both never shown in the series. Mrs. Hall was briefly mentioned in the book but a lot in the series. Tricki Woo was Mrs. Pumphrey's dog, but Cedrik was not her dog. James was awol during his son's birth but nobody knew. They made up some of the stories in the series such as the boy that harassed James, his dog didn't make it and he was a troubled youth. It's easy to see that many of the adventures are changed. But I must say this, I was very entertained by the book.
