Illustrated by Quentin Blake
It's splendid to have this zany, rumbustious folk tale for the hties in paperback. Black is at eighties in paperback. Blake is at Yeoman's parable about Dottie, Lottie, Molly, Dolly, Winnie, Minnie and Ernestine and their uprising against the oppressive laundry owner, Balthazar Tight. Excellent ammunition in the fight against sex-stereotyping, it's anarchic fun at its best and five-ups will love it.
