I bought this title in a used book store because it impressed me greatly when I was around 11 years old. I loaned it to my cousin George at the behest of his parents, and never got it back. They told me he didn’t understand it.
Reading the book over 50 years later, I must admit it has lost much of its magic. Nevertheless, it has an atmosphere that sticks with you. And it’s kind of fun that some scenes bring back faint whispers from my childhood. The ideals in the book are very nice, but somewhat naive in our modern world.
