Preferably one with low lintels, hollyhocks up the walls, and those Beatrix Potter diamond-leaded windows like Mrs. Tiggywinkle`s.

Any more than those of the small boy who wants to be an astronaut or the teenage girl who wants to be a pop star.

Berwick's book is now available on The Book Depository website and can be purchased HERE
