Title: Fun Nostalgia
Review: Impulsively went back to read my childhood favorite of oh-so-many years ago. Still a cute story and a rousing "noble" adventure, but definitely sexist in the manner of its time.I particularly enjoyed the delicate description of how Perdita "got married" and the emotional complications of having an attractive young female dog suddenly appear in Pongo's family. And the breezy overview of how Mr. Dearly came to be suddenly wealthy is very amusing - much like Monty Python's "How to Rid the World of All Known Diseases."I don't know that I would give this book to a child today without a bit of framing discussion, but it certainly was a pleasure to reread it myself. As everyone notes, it's much much better than the animated movie.
