Product Details

Product Description

From AudioFile

Could there possibly be anything funnier than Durrell's book about an ordinary chap who inherits an elephant ("Rosy") with a taste for liquor? Yes, there could be, and there is. Even funnier is the same story read aloud by Jamie Glover. His performance is a hoot. In fact, it almost seems as if the author deliberately created a cast of amiable eccentrics just to give Glover a chance to become a dotty aristocrat, a flamboyant defense attorney with a lisp, and an "h"-dropping coffin-maker. Such a merry romp, led by an inebriated Rosy, can be savored by children, parents or grandparents either alone or together on their next hilarious car trip. J.C. An AUDIOFILE Earphones Award winner.

4.0 out of 5 stars A Romp through a inter-war England, Oct 28 2008
By Sue Hirst (Canada) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Rosy Is My Relative (Paperback)
This is a little gem of a book. I loved it as a teenager and my three kids have all read it and love it too. The basic premise? What do you do when an you inherit an elephant with a penchant for beer from an eccentric uncle? Answer...you walk her (Rosie the elephant)the length of England to try and find a circus and you take her various inebriated disasters in your stride! This is a book to snuggle down for a winters evening with - and it begs to be read it aloud to your kids.
