      The Dullard

      Jun 5, 2019

      The villagers of Yockenthwaite knew him as ‘Jack Dull’, ‘Jack Dolt,’ or sometimes just ‘The Dullard’. His real name was John Dullard, last in a long, illustrious line of Dullards, and a man – so they said – of quite miraculous stupidity. The kind of

      The Education of Mrs. R.

      Sep 6, 2022

      An adolescent shriek woke her. Cockerels, she thought, cockerels, with a wry twist to the word. She lay in the dark listening. There was no use in covering her head; the screaming still came through. The soloist was suddenly submerged in the chorus.

      I really enjoyed this book, the descriptions are so wonderful!Jeremy is a little boy of 7, who turns 8 at the start of the story and starts the journey to adulthood as he starts to see his world through different more mature eyes!This is a charming story, written by a man that knows his craft oh so well, I love Hugh Walpole's work and he can do no wrong for me!Maybe old fashioned for today's tastes but charming and beautifully written.
    • 4/5
      Written just after WW1 and set in the much cosier world of some 30 years before.In the cathedral city of Polchester lives 8 year old Jeremy, with his sisters, Nurse, rector father, placid mother and a handful of other relatives (and Hamlet the dog). Covering a year in his life- from his birthday up to the day he's about to set off for boarding school- Jeremy starts to move from childhood to independence; he starts to realise stuff about the adut world and Life through his everyday adventures."The moment was one of a sequence that had come to him during the year-....All these moments had been something more than merely themselves, had had something behind them or inside them for which simply they stood as words for pictures. He analyzed, of course, nothing, being a perfectly healthy small boy, but if afterwards he looked back these were the moments that he saw as one sees stations on a journey. One day he would know for what they stood."Quite an enchanting little book.
