This book has many, many different stories, but most of them are about Mr Twiddle. Mr Twiddle is quite a silly old man who is very forgetful and does the stupidest things! In one of the stories he kept forgetting to buy toothpaste, and ended up using glue to brush his teeth!
My opinion is that this book is very funny and quaint, and I would give it a 9 1/2 out of 10! It's great, but I would only reccomend it to people who read a lot of Enid Blyton books, as her books are all set in the olden days, and some people probably wouldn't understand them, especially people in this day and age.
