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.

不错
评分最近看一篇超级长的小说，看得花也谢了，所以决定听一个超短篇来调节一下，维持我的进度，哈哈，这是一个非常简单的爱情故事，据说，有一部分是在讲Roald自己的晚年，他晚年又再婚了
评分“Tortoises are very backward creatures. Therefore they can only understand words that are written backwards.” 生日前读到一个关于小龟的故事:)
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
评分Extremely funny!
