Something else sold me on the universal appeal of this book; I just got back to university again this week. When my housemates saw me reading this they were all asking if they could borrow it. Hmm, borrow? I think the way they were saying 'borrow' was that certain use of the word that implies you're not going to be seeing it again any time soon.
I think if your children enjoy this kind of writing, you might want to try them out on ''The Once and Future King'' by T.H. White. The first part of which, [[The Sword in the Stone by T H White|The Sword In the Stone]], is reviewed on this site. Though it may be just a little more advanced, the humorous style of writing and solid storytelling on display in this book is mirrored there. We've an [[Tools in Books and Literature: The Unsung Heroes of Many Stories|interesting article on the tools used in many of these stories.
I'd like to thank the publishers for sending me a copy of this wonderful book. I'm not 'borrowing' it to anybody!
