Sheer delight at any age ! (0/0 people found this helpful)
I came accross Mrs Pepperpot stories by chance recently, and I am well past childhood...Yet I just adored reading this little stories, full of fun, fantasy, good humour, with a quaint charm of times bygone...I could not recommend them strongly enough to any child...but do children still read old-fashioned tales like this, I don't know !

Little Old Mrs Pepperpot (2/2 people found this helpful)
I read this book as a child and adored it. Now that my son is starting to read I offered to him. He can't put the book down and each night having read a couple of chapters he's eager to find out what the next adventure could be.
A WONDERFUL BOOK - HIGHLY RECOMMEND IT
Sexual allegory (1/30 people found this helpful)
Whilst this was a great read for my child, I found the underlying subtext of adultery and cheating distasteful. What Mrs Pepperpot really gets up to is clearly the fantasy of a jealous husband in Proyson. A child might enjoy it, a single parent may not. Do not read it.
Kyra`s ideas of Mrs Pepperpot stories (8/8 people found this helpful)
If you want excitment and the unexpected then read the Mrs Pepperpot stories by Alf Proysen!
Mrs Pepperpot is an old lady and she shrinks to the size of a pepperpot. I like Mrs Pepperpot because she is kind and helpful. I also like Hannah because she is cute,cuddly and helpful.
The story is set at Mrs Pepperpot's house the day before Christmas and Mrs Pepperpot is putting her Christmas decorations up. A couple of hours later a girl knocks on the door. It is a kind loving girl called Hannah asking for some Christmas decorations. Then the adventures really begin!
The author's style is funny and he has put lots of good vocabulary in it.
I would recomend it to everybody.
