This book was first published in 1939 and because of the school holidays it took me longer to read than usual, so possibly that was why I didn’t enjoy it quite as much as her other books. There didn’t seem to be as many really likeable characters and I didn’t find it as amusing as her others. Maybe it was just the wrong choice of book for me at the time though.

Still I’m glad that I read it as I want to read the whole series and there are bound to be some which you like more than others.
