Review: Five Stars - The book is beautiful but did not bring the drawinfgs of the original edition and I missed them. Review: A trip to the past - I read this book years ago and recently watched the film with Fred Astaire and Lesley Caron. I thought I must read again and as if desertcart read my mind (if that’s the case truly spooky) I had an email about the book and I hadn’t searched for it.

A trip to the past
I read this book years ago and recently watched the film with Fred Astaire and Lesley Caron. I thought I must read again and as if Amazon read my mind (if that’s the case truly spooky) I had an email about the book and I hadn’t searched for it. Loved it, the writing is delightful and the heroine a joy. Given when written still fresh and lively to read.

Illustrations a lie, just copy and pasted black and white historical paintings.
First off, the formatting is terrible. It’s like a twelve year old took a pdf of Daddy long legs and just dragged it into printing. There are oddly placed pictures throughout the book, and pages with ‘download pdf!’ scattered throughout. Really strange. Guess you really do pay for quality.

good
Re-read this book after a lifetime and really enjoyed it. Recommend it to those who have not come across it as well as a good re-read.

Such a good yarn!
I first read this book over 50 years ago but I have enjoyed it just as much now as then. A life story in the letters of one girl to an anonymous benefactor. Quite brilliant.

What do you mean, "Illustrated"?
A book I enjoyed re-reading after many years - but "Illustrated" is a fraud. There are pictures here and there, Old Masters as far as I could make them out. But these are not the funny caricatures that adorned the book in print. This is a cheat.

No es versión original ilustrada, además trae publicidad. Es muy barato, pero creo vale la pena pagar más por la versión original.

比較的原著に忠実な表現が良い 1912年の著作であることを考えれば未来への希望が溢れていると感じられる 翻訳ではなく拙い直訳のほうが作者の溢れ出る感情が異言語の人々に伝わると思う そういう意味ではAI翻訳も使える機能だと思った

I found typing mistakes are everywhere and some sentences do not make any sense. At 3.99 it was a waste of money. I have deleted my copy from my device.
