6/27/2023 0 Comments Roald dahl books tortoise![]() Of course, his relationship advice is about as bad as the tortoise care advice, so I guess it somehow evens out!Īnyone familiar with Mr. Dahl did not see fit to include at least SOME accurate care info considering how widely read most of his stuff is. ![]() The book includes several care guidelines that are almost all wrong and familiar to anyone who kept tortoises in the 70's and 80's (like the old 'all they need is cabbage and water' bit.) I am sad that Mr. The words are a chant to grow bigger, written backwards. The title comes from the 'magical words' he tells her to say over her tortoise. When he overhears her concern that her pet tortoises (species unsaid, probably a Greek or similar) is not growing, he hatches a rather elaborate scheme. The plot is a lonely man who is secretly in love with the woman downstairs. It often comes up when one searches for tortoise books, and I like Roald Dahl, so I decided to include it here. ![]() "Esio Trot" is one of the few stories in which tortoises play a major role and that do not involve hares. Generally considered a children's story, but more of a light comedy romance. ![]()
