Edward has inherited some money, and he decides he'd like to tramp around England a bit. At his first stop he befriends a young boy and builds him a toy airplane. But his country idyll takes an adventurous turn when he happens upon a young woman who seems to be unnaturally nervous about her home life. At their third meeting when they are just about to be discovered by her tyrannical aunt, he proposes that she should elope with him. She balks at the idea of marrying someone she barely knows, so he says he will take her away on any terms, even if they have to claim to be brother and sister. This is what they initially do, although circumstances later dictate that they get "married." Thus begins "The Incredible Honeymoon," wherein they travel around a few beauty spots in England and try to evade the people who are looking for them. Reminiscent of a Williamsons' book, but not so travelogue-y. ( ) aucune critique | ajouter une critique

These selected paragraphs distill the contents and give you a quick look inside The Incredible Honeymoon: Look inside the book: He dreamed his pastoral dreams in the deafening clangor of the shops at Crewe, but not ten thousand hammers could beat out of his brain the faith that life was really little as one might suppose it, just looking at it from Crewe full of the most beautiful and delicate possibilities, and that, somehow or other, people got from life what they chose to take. ...Then back to Eastbourne, to call again at the unusual shops, as well as at one of the more usual character, where the stranger bought toffee and buns and cake and peppermint creams; to get a parcel from the station, and so home round the feet of the downs in the pleasant-colored evening, with the dust white on the hedges, and the furze in flower, and the skylarks singing 'fit to bu'st theirselves, ' as Tommy pointed out when the stranger called his attention to the little, dark, singing specks against the clear sky, the old white horse going at a spanking pace. About E. (Edith) Nesbit, the Author: Her sister Mary's ill health meant that the family moved around constantly for some years, living variously in Brighton, Buckinghamshire, France (Dieppe, Rouen, Paris, Tours, Poitiers, Angouleme, Bordeaux, Arcachon, Pau, Bagneres-de-Bigorre, and Dinan in Brittany), Spain and Germany, before settling for three years at Halstead Hall in Halstead in north-west Kent, a location which later inspired The Railway Children (this distinction has also been claimed by the Derbyshire town of New Mills). ...According to her biographer Julia Briggs, Nesbit was 'the first modern writer for children': '(Nesbit) helped to reverse the great tradition of children's literature inaugurated by Lewis Carroll, George Macdonald and Kenneth Grahame, in turning away from their secondary worlds to the tough truths to be won from encounters with things-as-they-are, previously the province of adult novels.'"
