Chrissy Posted May 13, 2010 Share Posted May 13, 2010 I remember this book! I loved this many years ago. I must dig it out for a re read. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chesilbeach Posted May 13, 2010 Share Posted May 13, 2010 I got given a lovely 50th anniversary hardback edition of this for Christmas a few years ago. I agree with you, Janet, that it does feel a little bit dated, and I suspect it actually appeals more to the older reader now rather than the original 10-14 year old, but also like you, I would heartily recommend it to everyone here (knowing what discerning readers we all are ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pickle Posted May 13, 2010 Share Posted May 13, 2010 The minute I read the name it rang a bell might have to dig it out I might have read it in school. Did he write anything else? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chesilbeach Posted May 13, 2010 Share Posted May 13, 2010 He wrote quite a lot according to fantasticfiction, although I have to admit, I've never heard of him other than associated with this book, but most of his work seems to be a bit before my time. http://www.fantasticfiction.co.uk/s/ian-serraillier/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iguana Posted February 2, 2011 Share Posted February 2, 2011 I have it for my English reading and I find it quite good. I think my favorite character is Jan because he likes pets, and second is Bistro the monkey because I think he is funny - having a passion for cigarettes.
