A very cute story about an old geezer who tricks a middle aged woman into falling in love with him by using a series of larger and larger tortoises. A slight story but worth picking up.

Annok iplik menee Roald Dahlin kepeämpien huumoriteosten joukkoon. Tarina on yksinkertainen ja höpsö, mutta uskottavampi kuin mikään muu aikaisemmin lukemani Dahlin lasten klassikko. Herra Hapuli asuu rouva Hopia yläkerrassa. Herra hapuli rakastaa kukkien hoitoa ja rouva Hopiaa, mutta ei saa kerrottua tunteistaan tälle. Rouva Hopia puolestaan rakastaa kilpikonnaansa Allua. Siitäpä herra Hapuli keksiikin mahtipontisen, mutta hyväntahtoisen juonen.

Met het verheerlijken van diefstal, aanslagen van kinderen op volwassenen, kettingrokende grootmoeders, kinderen aan de alcoholische dranken enzoverder zijn de morele lessen in Dahls boeken vaak aan de twijfelachtige kant, maar het hart van een vrouw winnen door middel van bedrog? Neen, dát gaat te ver.

takes me back to my childhood! <3
Roald Dahl is a master of creating despicable adult characters, but in this little book, Mr. Hoppy, who tricks his downstairs neighbor into marrying him by lying to her and stealing her tortoise (to replace it with a series of others), is supposed to be the good guy.
Ew.
