A very under rated author, for this review I wish more of his timeless classics were reprinted. The grammar, sentence structure are of a high standard, this I would say helps the younger reader to gain valuable skills and reinforce their learning - but enjoying the process at the same time. You will not go wrong here, most libraries (UK) still hold a good selection of his works. Enjoy

A wonderful book but be sure to buy the original not the simplified version. Why children should be patronised by spoiling perfectly good books I don't know.
