So convenient!!
At first the scent of the dark blue bottle put me off, but using it made my skin feel silky smooth( I have very dry skin). As with all Nivea products which I have been using since my teens, they do what it says on the bottles! Really useful & took time to leave feedback, as I'm truly impressed.

The wind in the willows
1 of 1 found this helpful I did not know this was an abridged version & may not have bought it if I had. I read complete & unabridged classics even as a child & this is a very precious book that I have returned to even as a teen & as a young adult. It's sad to lose any of this great piece of literature lost in an abridged edition. However, the Inga Moore illustrations are so enchanting, engaging & would have delighted Kenneth Graham himself, bringing so vividly & tenderly to life, this irresistible world of Ratty, Mole & Badger. The artwork is iconic & evokes the best of Shepherd & Rackham & other unforgettable children's literary illustrators. So this is a book to be treasured& passed onto the next generation, & certainly worth buying, but I have just purchased the complete abridged version to accompany this in my collection, because this is a book that I return to every now & then, as comforting & reassuring as a cup of tea by a warm fire side on a cold winter's day.

Classy production
Totally agree with the 1st review. True to the spirit of Agatha Christie ! Gorgeous production from a bygone age.. Can't begin to express the nostalgia this fills me with. I grew up with ITV Thames, BBC period dramas & comedy series. Well worth watching because they don't make them in quite this way anymore. Anyone who saw the latest adaptation of 'ordeal by innocence' ( vulgar & shocking & beating no resemblance to the characters drawn by Christie; I read the book soon after to verify this because I was so shocked& horrified that such a gross perversion of a much loved author's work would be permitted by the BBC )would know what I'm referring to. This ought to be the minimum standard for the works ofChristie.
