this is a great book, it is so good. i liked reading this book. ( )

I was given this large book one year when i was a kid and I still have it somewhere, Purnell Children's Classics I think, no doubt much abridged. Still a favourite of mine and one I hope to read to my kids when theyre a bit older (I was 10 I think when I got mine!) ( )
