Nicholas on Holiday - Rated
My son aged eight, was introduced to Nicholas by a supply teacher at his primary school.
Why we haven't come across Nicholas and his friends before is a mystery. Better late than never.
The book comprises stand alone short stories, rather than numbered chapters, which are tied together loosely by a theme. The characterisations are relatively simple, but the cast list is fairly substantial, so that everyone gets a fair share of what plot there is. The events that befall Nicholas and his friends had my boy rolling on the floor, holding his sides and almost unable to breathe, such was the mildly anarchic and often rather tame (by current standards) mischief they all got up to. Dare your child to read one story straight through without cracking up with wonderful uninhibited laughter.
The books themselves are capable of being read aloud on a gloomy winters day or clandestinely absorbed under the bedclothes late at night with the aid of a torch.
Beware the construction of the book, board and cloth on good quality paper. Pride in ownwership in my sons case has led to many ructions between him and his, admittedy grubby, three year old sister. Buy the whole set and they attain "holy relic" status. You have been warned.
Please, please just buy one and than return to Amazon and tell them that David said you should have the rest. They will be loved by children now and will surely become family heirlooms.

I bought all of the Nicholas books for my Husband. He reads it to me and we giggle with laughter. We absolutely love the sketchy illustrations. The original stories are short and very descriptive. You need very little imagination to be swept away with Nicholas and his adventures. The covers are traditional canvas and makes a difference from the usual hardback or cheap paperback covers. This is a special set and we are delighted to own it.
