Review: An interesting little book with a good story to follow along with historical footnotes to give further background context to life in the Victorian era. Good for any Ks2 children studying the Victorians. Only thing I will say is it isn't written in proper English, it's grammatically incorrect fit in with how the character would have spoken. This didn't bother me, but I know it would bother some people.
