A wonderful book; very funny as the attempts to be good seem inevitably to spiral into increasingly chaotic - but well meaning - disaster. Hindsight is a wonderful thing, but reading the chapter when the Bastables meet the soldiers (and Oswald's wish to run off to be a bugler) sends a shiver down the spine when you realise that the Bastable boys would probably all have ended up in the trenches....

Amazon.com Book Description (ISBN 0140301224, Paperback)

Next day we made a Union Jack out of pocket-handkerchiefs and part of a red flannel petticoat of the White Mouse's, which she did not want just then, and some blue ribbon we got at the village shop.
