Summary

Last year we received a note from his preschool teacher indicating that he was tested as having the vocabulary of an eight-year-old, and I 100% credit Harry Potter for that--how many other kindergarteners know what "constant vigilance" means? (Also, this week and last week there were some severe audio issues with the recording. Sorry! Next episode will be back to normal!)

Both volumes were illustrated by Harry Furniss.The novel has two main plots; one set in the real world at the time the book was published (the Victorian era), the other in the fantasy world of Fairyland. While the latter plot is a fairy tale with many nonsense elements and poems, similar to Carroll's Alice books, the story set in Victorian Britain is a social novel, with its characters discussing various concepts and aspects of religion, society, philosophy and morality.

The story of the adventures of Eph, Tilly, Prue, Seth, Sol, Roxy, and Rhody Bassett as they go sledding, face bears, tell old stories, and wrestle with plum puddings is a holiday treat fit to make anyone stop and count their own blessings.
