Who knows how many hours I've spent as a child looking at the charming illustrations of this book! With my broken grasp of English, I managed to read some of the stories, and some - I could not finish. I just loved staring at the details of the lives of those kids.
I grew up in a family that had a long history of lived experience and lots of junk drawers full of the past. And of course, I was a sucker for digging in old drawers and making new discoveries!
This book, in a sense, was about children like me. It tells us about a world full of digging through old garages and drawers, loud recitals of poems in public transports to hide the sound of illegal cat mews, and finding joy in meaningless activities. It was also not about children like me in many other senses. But who wants to talk about that? Not me and not now.
Now that I look back, I see how the book captures the details of an incredibly precious carefree period that some humans happen to receive (unceremoniously) in life.
Finding joy in pointless activities- which is, of course, the whole point of life!
Only if all could afford this!
The stories themselves are not great. But they preserve something valuable.
