I came accross Mrs Pepperpot stories by chance recently, and I am well past childhood...Yet I just adored reading this little stories, full of fun, fantasy, good humour, with a quaint charm of times bygone...I could not recommend them strongly enough to any child...but do children still read old-fashioned tales like this, I don't know !

Little Old Mrs Pepperpot
|
I read this book as a child and adored it. Now that my son is starting to read I offered to him. He can't put the book down and each night having read a couple of chapters he's eager to find out what the next adventure could be.
A WONDERFUL BOOK - HIGHLY RECOMMEND IT

Sexual allegory
|
|
Whilst this was a great read for my child, I found the underlying subtext of adultery and cheating distasteful. What Mrs Pepperpot really gets up to is clearly the fantasy of a jealous husband in Proyson. A child might enjoy it, a single parent may not. Do not read it.

Kyra`s ideas of Mrs Pepperpot stories
|
If you want excitment and the unexpected then read the Mrs Pepperpot stories by Alf Proysen!
Mrs Pepperpot is an old lady and she shrinks to the size of a pepperpot. I like Mrs Pepperpot because she is kind and helpful. I also like Hannah because she is cute,cuddly and helpful.
The story is set at Mrs Pepperpot's house the day before Christmas and Mrs Pepperpot is putting her Christmas decorations up. A couple of hours later a girl knocks on the door. It is a kind loving girl called Hannah asking for some Christmas decorations. Then the adventures really begin!
The author's style is funny and he has put lots of good vocabulary in it.
I would recomend it to everybody.
