Eleanor Farjeon's ELSIE PIDDOCK SKIPS IN HER SLEEP brings a welcome memory from my own childhood - skipping rope. It's an activity that's somewhat out of fashion these hectic days but pure pleasure for any child. And, that's how I would describe this book. Its an imaginative story - two stories, really.... Elsie as a very small child enduring the hardness of poverty by the power of the simple delights of using her natural gifts and pursuing her dreams.... And the second - The enthralling and emotionally satisfying story of how she changed and preserved her world forever! .... Isn't that what we all want to do?
