The Mischievous Martens
Lotta Leaves Home
Lotta, spirited five year old is perhaps the Swedish equivalent of My Naughty Little Sister and he misdemeanors have long been the delight of many children in my experience. Now that the paperback rights have reverted to Methuen the stories are again available in two paperback volumes rather than the combined Puffin edition: these editions with their larger, better spaced type should make them more accessible to those readers who are just taking off on their own. Read them aloud to those who can't yet manage them on their own: in fact I'd recommended having copies in any primary classroom.
