I bought this for my daughter and returned it after having read it because of the corporal punishment in it. I understand that it is historically correct, but I took the decision not to hold onto it as the choices for a replacement were wide and varied. I personally enjoyed the story and thought it a lovely book, but I chose Stig of the Dump in its stead.
