this used to be a favourite of mine from my childhood but re-reading it was such a mistake. it’s cruel and irresponsible and yeah, i know it’s just a children’s book but christ, it does not leave a good impression.

Esio Trot, much like the rest of Roald Dahl's work was a quick, and easy read. Nothing particularly terrible or interesting about this one. Would reccomend for parents with young children.
Esio Trot (or Tortoise backwards) is a creative little throwaway of a story about a man who woos a woman by tricking her into thinking that a magic spell is growing her tortoise, when really he is swapping out for larger and larger tortoises. But it is funny and sweet and there is something hypnotic about chanting the magic spell (which has all the words backwards, which he claims is tortoise language).
Man tricks woman into *loving* him by repeatedly lying to her and replacing her pets. No thanks.
