LOVING AND@GIVING By Molly Keane
A delightful tale of life at a large
cokntry pile in decline, the book is
filled with sadly comic characters,
beautifully drawn by Keanj.
Nicandra, named after her father's
favourite racehorse, is a terrible
child driven to doing good deeds in
exchange for affection from her mother.
Her deeds always result in disaster or
embarrassment - a letter she finds
reveals her mother's love affair with
a hired hand while a "double butterfly"
copulates at the breakfast table.

O
LOVING AND GIVING By Molly Keane
Poor Nicandra grows up into a woman
oho ca↑not accept love but can only
give it with smothering power in a
most unpleasantly self-sacrificing way.
Aunt Tossie is wonderfully weird with
her fondness for alcohol, hjr mouth
organ and parrot which she serenades
regularly before collapsing into bed.
There is a strange horror lurking
beneath the@surface which Ms Keane
conveys jxpertly as Silly Willii and
the adult Nicandra lock in combat
over the fate of Aunt Tossie.

BACKBENCHER by Ian Mikardo
Labour MPs in the 60s and 70s made an
occupation of writing - Benn, Castle,
Crosland, Crossman spent much of their
Cabinet meetings with pen to paper.
Not so Mikardo: without high office to
look back om hj relies@on remimiscences
and anecdotes, not detailed notes.
The result is a refreshingly pleasing
and gentle read, bringing no ri ll8 /jw
insights to jvents over the period, but
bringing out his strongly Jjwish early
years and the cocky charm which made
him a real character in the Commons.

FEED LITTLE BUNNY by Harriet
Ziefert and Lisa Campbell-Ernst
A book which allows younger readers to
choose what little bunny gets to eat
froI a set of vinyl sticSers which can
be used time and time again.
Thj book is aimed at 2-6 year olds but
the stickers would prove a little
tricky to handle for two-year-olds.
Nicholas Hill, aged 3, of Ljyton in
east London, decided "It's a very
good book and I likj the bunny. Thj
stickjrs were hard but I can do them
now".
