my daughter had to read this book for homework. i have never been as bored by a book in my life. my daughter who was 9 at the time and luckily had an interest in reading found it tough going. the story drags, the characters are uninspirational and the story is just plain monotonous. for children who havn't go a great interrest in reading anyway stay well away from this book. a one star rating is too good for this book

Sorry everyone! I loved this book as a child in the 70s and so bought it for my young daughter. It did not hold her interest and ,in fact, as I read it, we both found it quite depressing. Not how I remembered it. Dissapointed.

I bought this book recently for myself (I am in my twenties) because I remember having loved it so much as a child. Once again I was totally enchanted by this wonderful story, Gobbolino really is a classic joy, for children and adults alike. Buy a copy for the children and keep a copy on your own bookshelf with pride!

This book was read to my class in Infants School and it remains one of my favourite books 35 years later. The author has just died, I believe, aged 95. She wrote nearly 70 books and this is probably the best known. The language and style are beautifully crafted and it is a joy to read aloud.

I read this book when I was in juniors school (year 6) i've loved it so much, it's just a fantastic read. So much so i even named my cat after it, he's 15 now.
