Titles with the last letter missin


I've recently got into Cabin Pressure, the Radio 4 drama set in a tiny airline - my lovely boss Malie has been casually mentioning it for a year, and I capitulated a few weeks ago, and am already halfway through series 3, eking out the remaining episodes.  It's very funny, and cleverly scripted.

There is a bookish connection.  Because in one of the episodes they try to come up with book titles which are amusing (and still make sense) with the last letter removed.  Their examples include Of Mice and Me, Three Men in a Boa etc.  And of course, I wanted to think of some of my own...

It's harder than it sounds.  I've only come up Five Children and I (E. Nesbit) and Injury Tim (Beryl Bainbridge).  And The Winds of Heave (Monica Dickens), which isn't very pretty.

Over to you!  Try to think of them without simply scrolling through a list of books, for maximum mental torment.  Let me know your answers in the comment section...
