I went into this expecting it to be a book that could still be read to children — I had no idea how racist the book is. I barely remember the Disney film as I was so young when I watched it but know now that the film has its racist caricatures and issues too. I was also shocked by the extreme gender essentialism. Obviously all novels are products of their own time and will never conform to today's standards so I didn't expect it to, but even reading this in context as a Victorian/Edwardian novel, it was very off-putting.

He trobat la novel·la una mica irregular. Hi ha capítols més bons, i n'hi ha que pareix que l'autor anava escrivint el primer que li passava pel cap i ja no ho canviava, capítols que podrien haver-se allargat fins a l'infinit. Es pot llegir (una vegada) però trob que és una obra que està una mica sobrevalorada.

Pel que fa a la traducció, no és dolenta però, venint de na Maria-Antònia Oliver, hauria de ser més bona del que és. Excés d'adjectius possessius, algunes frases traduïdes amb una sintaxi massa literal, massa poc catalana, algun pleonasme aquí i allà... Deixem-ho en traducció bona i prou.
