I have never read all that many fiction books to be honest. I read an awful lot when I was younger to soak up knowledge. Your riddle. I have a man.. a puppet and a castle? I had figured it may have been "a mans home is his castle" but the puppet is the odd one.
The second pic....does it have to do with the tail, maybe moving or wagging; or the word Tale, hmmm...
Oh, I think I need to apologise to all of you! I wasn't aware that the Krauts replaced an English title by another English title. What I thought was "The Clou" is in fact "The Sting". So our ole movie buff @Craig Swanson was right as Shirley correctly pointed out earlier on. Sorry again.
