Ratings and reviews

Takes me back to my youth,guddiling for trout, stealing apples from the big manor homes and the adventures myself and cousin got up to living in our cabins in the country with our parents who would give you a crack round the head if caught doing mischief such as catching bats and locking mom in the out toilet with them flying around her head. Good memorys, good book.
