At the time we were living in the middle of nowhere in Yorkshire and it was a very lonely time for me and a period when I was bullied (including physically) at school. I sought comfort in reading and my favourite books were this one as well as Milly Molly Mandy, the Flower Fairy series and history books given to me by one of my aunts. My aunts usually wore hats and suits to go to church on Sunday and smoked enthusiastically – but they looked nothing like the aunt depicted in Stevenson’s book.
