Book Description

A shy man, Mr Hoppy has only the courage for polite conversation with Mrs Silver, as she tends her pet tortoise Alfie, on the balcony below. But, when he learns that her dearest wish is for Alfie to grow bigger, he hatches a plan involving a giant pair of metal claws and 140 tortoises.

Mr Hoppy, a retired bachelor, harbours a secret passion for his neighbour, the lovely Mrs Silver. Unfortunately she lavishes all her affection on another... Alfie, her pet tortoise. Mr Hoppy's wildly ingenious plot to defeat his rival and win the love of his lady will delight and amaze, involving, as it does a cryptic riddle and no fewer than a hundred and forty tortoises, large and small.

Mr. Hoppy is madly in love with Mrs. Silver, a widow who lives in the flat below him, and has been for many years. Mrs. Silver, however, dotes upon her very small pet tortoise, Alfie (also known as Esio Trot, which, if you haven't noticed, reads 'Tortoise' backwards).

用户评价

这个故事实在是太搞笑又可爱了。有声书竟然是Geoffrey Palmer朗读的，超级喜欢他读的BFG。当然和炸叔合作的绝对权力还没有看，据说不错。另外这部电影竟然是浣熊师傅和M夫人合作。太多惊喜。回头这本书会认真过一遍，毕竟书不厚，插图还辣么可爱。 终于结束啦，哦也。
