Christmas with the savages
Mary Clive
- Reading
- Try reading a section together, then pause to compare how each child’s behaviour is described with how it affects others. This can help distinguish lively mischief from moments that call for a closer look.
- Themes
- Unfair treatment: The children are described as experiencing great unfairnesses in how they are treated. The book’s stance on this remains unclear.
- Worth knowing
- It also mentions unfair treatment; the particular incidents and their consequences are not clear.
