Penrod and other tales shape a lively modern youth view

A review prompts Penrod Schofield as a bright irrepressible boy and lauds The Desert and Mrs Ajax and Sweetapple Cove as top seasonal reads. It describes One Year of Pierrot as a tender maternal confession and notes Full Swing and The Price of Love as vivid, dramatic English fiction with strong characters.
