Auteur très connu et ancien maintenant et j'avais un peur qu'il soit désuet ou plus dans l'air du temps mais pas du tout. Classic characters like Burglar Bill and The Jolly Postman have become firm favourites with a generation of children who are now reading them to their own offspring. Furthermore, the authors have used some great moments of dialogue throughout the story which makes it even more enjoyable. One day Bill steals a baby and they have a fantastic time together until one day things change for Bill, he has an intruder in house who is about to steal from him. Bright illustrations (if somewhat stereotypical, with Burglars Bill and Betty in stripy shirts, eye masks and carrying swag bags!I note that many American libraries in WorldCat have it in their collection, so perhaps the eventual reformation of the characters was enough for it to pass muster. The plot becomes very predictable - as Burglar Bill and Burglar Betty talk, they both establish that the other is single, and so they decide to get married. This beautiful story takes us on Burglar Bill’s journey of transformation as he learns from his experiences and aims to pursue a new career which does not involve crime. Warning: this book may encourage children to become burglars purely from an excessive delight in the world and all its manufactured goodness.
