It all started with a tickle. Roger Hargreaves’ son Adam asked him what a tickle looked like. In response, Roger drew a small orange man with extraordinarily long arms that could reach anywhere and tickle anyone. Mr Tickle was born and Mr Greedy, Mr Happy, Mr Nosey, Mr Sneeze and Mr Bump soon followed. The books were an instant hit and Roger went on to create many more Mr Men and Little Miss characters which have been delighting children and adults for generations.

I thoroughly enjoyed reading this book. Being of a similar age to the author, I could totally relate to the era she was raised in. I too, was raised with domestic help and have guilty memories of wishing things were different, even though I was only six.
Lost Property is written with emotion and leaves you lingering with images of a troubled past. Coupled with this is a feeling of hope and courage as issues are addressed. An excellent local read.
Supreme use of the English language in describing sex and culture and how they function together, how they transform and inform our lives. How we are subject to our biological whims, and how culture has attempted to be champion over our bestial nature's. It's truly a spectacular book
