A classic of British children's literature, Dorothy Edwards' stories about "My Naughty Little Sister" were originally part of a radio program called Listen With Mother, and were first collected in print in 1952, in My Naughty Little Sister. Other collections followed, concluding with the fifth and final collection, More Naughty Little Sister Stories , published in 1971. For my part, I have long heard about this character and her adventures, but had never had a chance to read any of them, so when this treasury edition came into work, I was quite eager to pick it up. I'm not sure if this volume contains the complete collection - the twenty-one tales are grouped thematically into four section: When My Naughty Little Sister Was Very Young / The Bad Harry Stories / My Naughty Little Sister Can Be a Good Girl Sometimes! / Naughty Stories Indeed! - but there is a generous selection, even if it isn't exhaustive. Edwards' language is rich and distinctive, and has an oral quality to it - one can imagine her telling these tale to an eager audience of children! - that the foreword maintains is a feature of the working class British culture of the day. The artwork, done by Shirley Hughes, is every bit as delightful as the text, capturing the naughty little girl's ups and downs. I did wonder a bit about the older sister/narrator, who seems a remarkably patient child, and would have liked to read more about her experiences. Leaving that aside, this is one I would recommend to little children who have been or might be naughty, as well as to their older siblings and parents! ( )
