Ethel & Ernest

Product Information

Although they have differing political views and many marital squabbles, they obviously deeply care for each other. What I enjoyed about this was that it was VERY British (which of course connected with me) and that they felt so 'normal'. Este hombre es, para mi corazoncito, el equivalente del niño cabroncete que siempre venía a tirarme de las coletas en el colegio. When the book begins Ethel is a lady's maid cleaning a window and Ernest a milkman riding by on his bike. Whilst the story was heart-warming and quite tender in places, I couldn't help but notice the political discrepancies between them.

Lewis Carroll was certain rough on children, and the tradition carries on in such books as Neil Gaiman's Coraline on in the film Nanny McPhee, where children visiting their undertaker father at work never seem to mind the corpse on the table.With the loss of Briggs last week, it seemed important to mark the occasion by re-reading some of his works.

Ogni capitolo è scandito da decenni (‘30-‘40; ‘40-‘50; ‘50-‘60; ‘60-‘70) per poi giungere al capitolo finale, che comprende solo il 1970-1971.Ha pure i capelli lunghi - chiaramente propendé per la sinistra; il sentore della guerra prima, il nazismo e i bombardamenti poi).
