Reviews
Review of "The Childrens Book"
by Roger on Fri 25th Aug 2017.
Interminable. I persisted as there was just enough fruit in the stodge to keep me going but it was hardly worth it. The milieu - early fabian/socialist/arts and crafts movement was interesting. Very irritating in its background mix of real people and events with the fictional so that you are often not sure whether anecdotes and "facts" about the Fabians are really true or not.Preview
