Cloth. Zustand: Very Good. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: Good. William Randell (illustrator). 1st Edition UK. 'Our parents are extraordinary' Oliver begins, looking at them with a bright and critical eye, and proceeds to fill his exercise books with delightful anecdotes about their daily lives.He is not only a remarkable little boy, who can write a fascinating secret diary under cover of homework in the midst of a turbulent family, but he is nice too. Oliver is irresistible both to grown-ups and children, because in him are combined the imagination and malicious sincerity of an observant child with an adult sophistication. He is sensitive and affectionate, but what endears him to us most is the lively humour with which he describes the exploits of himself and his two mischievous younger brothers, and the vagaries of his charming bohemian parents. With him we move house, undergo a humiliating visit to the psychiatrist and await a wonderful event - the birth of a third little brother. Illustrations. Translated by Philip John Stead. Some browning to end pages. Slight foxing to edges. Slight wear and tear and some foxing to D/J. Price clipped.(We carry a wide selection of titles in The Arts, Theology, History, Politics, Social and Physical Sciences. academic and scholarly books and Modern First Editions ,and all types of Academic Literature.).
