mimima 's review for:
Mrs. Piggle-Wiggle
by Betty MacDonald
Somehow, I never managed to read this series as a child. A recent NPR piece reminded me that I had a boxed set around here, so I thought I'd pull them out and enjoy.
I was struck by how much this is a fairy-tale. The repetitive formula, the outsmarting by appearing to give in, and the magical realism of the story. A good read, but I'm not sure I'll re-read them over and over. However, I will read the next book in the box.
