Takes me back to fanfiction.net days… pretty good for a nine year-old actually.
“Words fail me ejaculated Bernard horsly my passion for you is intense he added fervently.”
“The Earl only got two rarther sickly girls called Helen and Marie because the last one looked slightly french.”
“This is agony cried Mr Salteena clutching hold of a table my life will be sour grapes and ashes without you.”

I never write reviews, and this technically isn’t one, but if a book makes me smile and laugh out loud literally from start to finish, I have to give it a 5 star rating!

This book was written by a 9-year-old in the late 1800s. I think the movie is a riot, and they complement each other well, though I did prefer the book’s ending a bit more. They tried to keep all the adorable misspellings, and Daisy’s perception of British societal hierarchy and how to move through it is both hilarious and surprisingly perceptive. Well worth the read!

There's some very funny stuff here. For example, here is a description of one of the characters: "She had very nice feet and plenty of money. Her name was Lady Helena Herring and her age was 25 and she mated well with the earl."

Late Victorian novel written by a precocious nine year old. Sometimes kind of funny, mildly interesting as unintentional genre parody.
