Being stuck in Japan with a limited amount of fiction at my disposal I've have decided to read all the english books in my school library. The selection is rather limited to old fashioned childrens books and as I loved this book as a kid I thought it was a good place to start. It is a lovely book with cool little 1950s style illustrations and I still enjoyed it. According to my mum its being made into a film but I really can't see who this story will appeal to these days. Its entirely a girl's book but its very dated and some of the class ideas are a little cringe-worthy today. I'll be really interested to see the film if they are making one. MIght start searching out the other Streatfeild books I loved as a child and seeing what I think now...
