Kindle Customer said Charming. These are stories of childhood lived in a time very different from ours. These children invented their own games and were left alone to explore their country environment. Although they had a nanny, much of their time was spent without adult supervision, and so their imaginations ran free. I doubt that modern children, relying for their entertainment on games and media created through the efforts of someone else's imagination, are as clever or as independent as the. Classic and charming Nikki This book is a collection of whimsical vignettes (which I read somewhere are based on the author's own childhood in rural England) describing the lazy afternoon activities of a young boy and his siblings. The author has a poetic descriptive prose that is easy to read and evokes the atmosphere of his settings beautifully. If you are an aspiring writer and you want to know how to write from a child's perspective, then this is a must read. I found these short pieces . "Lovely" according to Tabitha Twitchit. I love Grahame's works. This book and "Dream Days" are stories told by a boy growing up and playing in the English countryside with his brother and sisters. It is all about those ideal childhood days we either remember or wish we remembered.
