I had to read this for class and, seeing as it was seemingly written for little British boys living in the 1930s (and I am none of these things), there was little to interest or delight me. We meandered through random interactions that were either a classic 1930s-British racist or concerned things like jousting and knighthood that I'd rather not read about, with Hitchhiker's Guide-brand humor that didn't hit for me. The bits with animals were sometimes beautiful or tender, and the ending (despite myself!) lowkey made me emotional, but this was so not my thing.
