I'm reading it to my Grandson (7),and he is enthralled,by it ,as I was myself. To think it's over 100 yrs old. The imagination and foresight are truly stunning, which of course fires the already fertile ideas etc of a young boy.The illustrations are something else again.
Nice copy of a 1991 book that is becoming hard to find
Great service
Thanks
Great book, engrossing and circuitous, with fascinating twists and turns a good read for the imperfections of families
I was delighted to re-read this book from my childhood,but amused by the formality and stitedness of the language compared to today's prose.
My grandson is not yet 2 so he can't write yet, but he LOVES this book and I think would recommend it to other tots.
I’ve been doing the Alphabet Reading Challenge and was thrilled with the books available from the Book Grocer to meet the terms of the challenge. Books starting with each letter of the alphabet. I was stuck on ‘U’ and couldn’t find a book of interest until I found the book grocer’s listing. This book has been out of print for a long time so it was a wonderful opportunity to find it available. The Sue Grafton Alphabet series are great reads if you like a crime mystery. Thanks Book Grocer!
All the books I have received from The Book Grocer are very good value, in good condition and delivered promptly. I am very happy with the service I receive as well as the condition of the books and the variety available.

strong women characters (sisters) we meet at the beginning of the war..it's
their journey..
wonderfully researched and beautifully written..

jewel.
wonderfully researched
This was a really good book of one persons role in the war and what she went through happy she had a good life .
A well written, engaging and at times highly amusing memoir. Mark Colvin is clearly an intelligent observer of life and all its foibles.
Brilliant read. Well written and researched, with wonderful, colorful characters. Just a really good book.
