I was quite amazed at just how poorly I actually remembered this classic tale. Admittedly, it's been many a year since I last saw a film representation and I hadn't previously read the book, but I thought I knew the tale quite well. I really didn't. This is a fun and short read that surprised me at times. I also didn't realise it was a series of novels and may have to look at the remainder of the series which I don't recognise at all. Either way, I enjoyed my brief foray with this classic.
