Why I loved the book- Lady Daisy

Lady Daisy was beautifully told by Dick King Smith and only he could write it so well. It is the tale of a boy called Ned who finds a doll called Lady Daisy Chain who can talk to Ned. Basically he wants to hode it from people incase they think he is a girl but the school bully finds out. Meanwhile Lady Daisy is getting stolen by dogs or hidden by theifs but Ned always gets her back somehow. Neds parents think Ned is going crazy when he tells them daisy can talk but in his heart lady daisy still talks to him and she really does until one day the chord between them stops and they cant talk to eachother any more for ned is an adult and has lost beleif in talking porcelan dolls. but until the story starts all over again with neds daugher- victoria.

A charming story for a slow afternoon

I began reading this book in the morning. I finished by theafternoon. Although it's not a page turner, it begs you to readon. The plot of a talking doll is so fantastic, the reader wishes Lady Daisy was there speaking to her. I would recommend this book to anybody who wants to get away from the reality of books. Escape into a world of clean fun and be charmed by Lady Daisy and her friend.
