I read this original edition(it was my grandparents) as a young teenager and it made a huge impression on me. I need to find a copy (may still be in my loft) and read it, hopefully enjoying it again.

To the memory of my father

Sorrell was trying to fasten the straps of the little brown portmanteau, but since the portmanteau was old and also very full, he had to deal with it tenderly.
