ESIO TROT

ESIO TROT by Roald Dahl

Esio Trot has been around for a few years, but I didn't learn about it until we went to Claire's dramatic arts' school's student productions in May. One of the second year students did this for his production, and it was so well done! I promptly went home and ordered the book to read!

Roald Dahl's Esio Trot (tortoise spelled backwards!) is a hilarious read no matter your age! Mr. Hoppy and Mrs. Silver are balcony neighbors. They are both single and of the senior citizen age. Mr. Hoppy has secretly loved Mrs. Silver for years but was too shy to do anything about it. Then one day, he discovers a way to Mrs. Silver's heart by helping her with her much loved pet tortoise. This short story will have you laughing in no time! Absolutely delightful!
