There's plenty in the book for children of that age to enjoy, but older children might be a bit impatient. Susan and her family live in London, but she has a brother of ten years old who has a nasty chronic illness, and is bed-ridden. His family are advised to take him for the rest of the winter to a warmer climate, so his mother takes him to Algiers. During this interlude Susan is to go to stay with a great-aunt who lives at Ramsgate, a small town by the sea in the eastern part of Kent, the county of England to the south-east of London. There are several other girls staying with the aunt, two of them a bit older than Susan, grown-up, almost, while Sophia Jane is Susan's age. Sophia Jane appears to have what we would now call behavioural problems, but during the course of the book we learn to see her in a better light, and it is Susan who can be not altogether excellent. Both little girls learn a lot about life from each other. Intertwined with the story are the affairs of a charming French brother and sister. We won't give away more of the story than that. Enjoy the book. NH _______________________________________________________________________ SUSAN BY AMY WALTON CHAPTER ONE. "MY AUNT ENTICKNAPP." "So there ain't no idea, then, of takin' Miss Susan?"

I don't deny I've a sinkin' myself when I think of it; but if it's to do the poor child good, I'm not the one to stand in his way." "Where's she to stay, then, while you're all away?" "With an aunt of Miss
