The Tale of Ginger and Pickles by Beatrix Potter
3.0
I received this book as a toddler and never read it until now. Being an adult, I am aware that my age group is not the intended audience.
However, the storyline was drier than expected and may be more appropriate to an older audience. It seems to depict capitalism and to promote its’ benefits. A notion that children certainly wouldn’t grasp. Perhaps it’s seriousness can be attributed to the era when the book was published, which I am not accustomed to either.
However, I enjoyed the charming illustrations. They definitely helped lift the spirit of this rather drab storyline.
