Laugh till you cry!

This is a review of the book rather than the taped version.I grew up in a suburb of Melbourne,Australia and so am fully cognisant of that era in Australia and,being convent educated,of the morals and mores of that time.I laughed till I nearly made myself sick and then laughed some more! I don't know whether or not growing up in the U.S. in a country town in that era would be very different but I can only hope that it rings a bell with other readers. If you would just like a great big belly laugh and to enjoy a simple,uncomplicated story,you'll love this account of a larrikin of a boy(I don't know the American word to use for a naughty scamp who's always in trouble).
