Today’s book is another classic children’s book. It is one that I can remember being a firm favourite of mine when I was little and all the children I have given it to have all fallen under it’s spell. I am now at the lovely stage where I can see my own children fall for it’s charms. It has had the details of its inspiration called into question in recent years but to me it is simply a fascinating tale of one very greedy and unusual guest who I always hoped would visit our house, for the resulting inevitable trip to the café in pyjamas if nothing else.
