Book Description
A shy man, Mr Hoppy has only the courage for polite conversation with Mrs Silver, as she tends her pet tortoise Alfie, on the balcony below. But, when he learns that her dearest wish is for Alfie to grow bigger, he hatches a plan involving a giant pair of metal claws and 140 tortoises.
Mr Hoppy, a retired bachelor, harbours a secret passion for his neighbour, the lovely Mrs Silver. Unfortunately she lavishes all her affection on another... Alfie, her pet tortoise. Mr Hoppy's wildly ingenious plot to defeat his rival and win the love of his lady will delight and amaze, involving, as it does a cryptic riddle and no fewer than a hundred and forty tortoises, large and small.

看得提心吊胆,就怕楼上的大叔玩儿砸了。能在如此小的空间里讲一个让人提心吊胆的故事,还是很厉害。
评分He had to make a lot of trips and he was quite exhausted at the end of it all, but it was worth it. PS好多年后,little Alfie终于长成了两倍大,只是他的主人已经换成了另一个姑娘
