This first book in the Eustace & Hilda trilogy takes place during one summer in the 1930s with Eustace at 9 years old & Hilda 13. He is an odd little boy, at once fanciful and submissive, perhaps due to his poor health. Despite the fact that he is unlike any small boy I have ever known, I quickly became sympathetic to him. The book was a fast read but has some ideas in it that I am still mulling over. I look forward to reading the rest of the trilogy! Basically this is a story of two Edwardian children,Eustace and his sister Hilda. Eustace is a somewhat weak and sickly child who is cosseted and at the same time dominated by his sister. In the course of the book Hilda persuades Eustace to make friends with an elderly and infirm Miss Fothergill. The old lady at first frightens and disgusts the boy,but later he changes his attitude completely and begins to enjoy her company. As the book concludes,we learn of the far-reaching consequences of the children's actions. The story continues in two further volumes. sin reseñas | añadir una reseña
