Review: My children grew up with Boggler Boll (as we call it). You’ll have to read it to find out why! My grandson is nearly 4 and loves it.

Review: An absolute classic! Nobody can fail to be amused, love, and be entranced by the adventures of Bill, as he goes about his burglary business, adopts a baby left at his door, and falls victim himself to a female burglar whom he eventually marries. The whole tone and ambience is captured perfectly in the illustrations, and should be on every child's bookshelf. Also, there is an implicit moral tone to the story that balances the otherwise unacceptable idea that burglary is a forgivable, victimless activity. In this story, the husband-and-wife burglars recognise the error of their ways, and return all their stolen goods to the respective owners in the dead of night. Crime doesn't pay, nobody goes to jail, nobody loses out, and everyone's happy. If only real life reflected all of that!
