It is a charming and heartwarming tale of childhood imagination and adventure, and a testament to the enduring power of family and friendship.When we came out we walked a long way, and when we asked a policeman he said we'd better go back through Smithfield. So we did. They don't burn people any more there now, so it was rather dull, besides being a long way, and Noel got very tired. He's a peaky little chap; it comes of being a poet, I think.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
