5.0 out of 5 stars One of a kind, April 10, 2001

This review is from: Rebecca's World (Hardcover)

Excellent, a childhood classic indeed. It's because of Terry Nation that Peter Pan gave it all up for neverending childhood... the kind of story with warmth and vision that children will remember for a lifetime.

5.0 out of 5 stars This is a fantasic story, June 3, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Rebecca's World (Hardcover)

As a teenager I found this book to be an inspiration and a joy. I cannot remember the times I spent cold winter evenings in the company of Rebecca and her quest to save the last tree from the sinister creatures of her fantasy world. I would recommend this book to anybody who has an intrest in science fiction, science fantasy or the environment. I've lost my copy of this book now, but hopefully I can regain a copy and again read of Rebecca's journey. I have always vowed to share this story with my children, soon I hope this to be a reality. Read this book, you could do a lot worse for teenage fiction these days, but you couldn't do much better. Fantastic..

5.0 out of 5 stars My Favourite Childrens book, August 25, 2000

This review is from: Rebecca's World (Hardcover)

A teacher at school read Rebecca's World to us as a class when i was 9, at the time the environmental theme wasn't apparent becasue it was before people realised the problem. I recommend this book to everyone, particularly to teachers, because everyone I know who ever read it as a child rates it as amongst their favourite book. I wouldn't say that this book changed my life (except for spending far too much time in second hand bookshops trying to find a copy) but even when i read it now, it sparks off my imagination. Any book which makes you want to know the characters better is great in my book, and I'm still sad when the story ends because I want to know more about the world, and the characters. I eventually found a copy, and it is one of my most treasured possessions, probably more so because the child who owned it before me carefully coloured in the map at the front, and the pictures at the back. This should be on every childs reading list.
