This book was the 1967 Kate Greenaway Award winner - beautiful paintings make the experience of city life (urban renewal in inner-city London, England) as lived by Charley and Charlotte into something mystical yet real. In this way it does what only the very best fiction can do, helping children to see their ordinary life as something deeply meaningful. (
