Review # 1 was written on 2009-01-04 00:00:00 Dru Siskin Opening: This beginning-part is not made out of anybody's head, you know. It's real. You must believe this beginning-part more than what comes after, else you won't understand how what comes after came to be written. You must believe it all; but you must believe this most, please. I am the editor of it. Bob Redforth (he's my cousin, and shaking the table on purpose) wanted to be the editor of it; but I said he shouldn't because he couldn't. He has no idea of being an editor. Just the titular story, which is written by four young people from their position in a joint role playing game: William Tinkling Esq. - Aged 8 Miss Alice Rainbird - Aged 7 Lieut.-Col Robin Redforth - Aged 9 Miss Nettie Ashford - Aged half-past six I can't see today's youngsters buying into this and there is little by way of a hidden stream to keep adults interested, yet it does hold a certain charm. Could not be confused with Angria.

Review # 2 was written on 2015-11-11 00:00:00 Jerome Etherton Utterly charming short stories "written" by four children. The language and humour is so utterly Dickens, but the way in which they're written truly seem as if by children. The stories reflect the social standings of the day, wherein the boys have adventure and the girls have romance, but the boys also have romance in their own way, and the girls also have adventure in their own way. I often forgot they were not actually written by children at all. Blog | Instagram | Twitter | Pinterest | Shop | Etsy
