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.
Ew.
Il Signor Hoppy, segretamente innamorato della Signora Silver è timido e non riesce a trovare il coraggio per chiederle di uscire. E allora cosa decide di fare? Di ottenere la sua benevolenza con l'inganno.
Assolutamente poco istruttivo. E orribile l'atteggiamento nei confronti della tartaruga Alfio.

The heartwarming story of gaslighting with tortoises.
A tale of deceit and obsession to rival Alfred Hitchock's Vertigo. One of Dahl's weakest books with a very questionable moral. I think the reader easily understands why Mr. Hoppy stayed single for so long. Lock up your tortoises: there's a balcony bachelor on the loose.
Even een uurtje voorlezen aan Jonah.

This was a kind of funny and clever story. But it’s also about a man who manipulates a woman into marrying him and steals her pet.
