Description
Book SynopsisOld-fashioned and eccentric in tone, this book could have been written in the 30's - it's a modern-day classic
Trade Review'Rather like Daisy Ashford's The Young Visiters this is a charming, miniature oddity, just right for a Christmas stocking' Sunday Telegraph 'Very occasionally one comes across a book which, in its unexpected delights, inspires one to leap about wild with praise, and rush out to buy copies for friends. This first work by William Newton will surely have this effect Their adventures with the tram are both touching and extraordinary Newton is a wonderful find, it's my book of the year and I shall give it to everyone for Christmas' Spectator 'I predict that this book will become something of a cult it goes on haunting the reader's imagination long after he has put the book down I loved it' Country Life 'The Two Pound Tram is a necklace of miracles, each more beautiful and unbelievable than the last. That it may be author William Newton's memoir may be the most dazzling miracle of all' Los Angeles Times
