In this tongue-in-cheek take on classic themes in children's literature, the four Willoughby children set about to become "deserving orphans" after their neglectful parents embark on a treacherous around-the-world adventure, leaving them in the care of an odious nanny.
An amazing audio book! So funny! So charming! So shocking! Lowry manages to satirize "old fashioned" stories while simultaneously capitalizing on all the strengths of the old fashioned story. I love classics, I love comedy, I loved this. ( )
Tim was a total dickface in the beginning of the book, and I almost tossed the book because of it. But I was reading the book not for the story but for the German practice, so I kept reading and things got much better. Overall it's an odd but fine book. ( )
Adventures of a most horrid couple and their horrid offspring reminiscent of Charles Addams or Edward Gorey although Lowry's own hand-drawn illustrations lack the macabre bleakness of either. Very dark humour delivered with a light hand, great fun for twisted adults and very weird children. ( )
