I finished this book and now I’m thinking of an article where I compare Chitty Chitty Bang Bang with Tolkien’s Mr. Bliss. Seems like it could be fun.
So far, the only thing the book and the movie have in common are:
1) there’s an old racing car called Chitty Chitty Bang Bang that can do magical things
2) the owner of the car is Caractacus Potts
3) his children are named Jeremy and Jemima
