All good
Was a little disappointed that there was a sticker price over £3 less than I paid, Company explained they source books from charity hence difference. Also one book needs spine glued. Ordered for school so have to make do,

Although fiction, a very insightful, educational and realistic story...one of my favorites from when I was a child and I enjoyed reading it again and enjoyed it just as much as an adult
