AbstractHistoryArchive Description
'The author takes the beloved rascal of Mad as Rabbits, her Uncle Charlie, and tells of his adventures and misadventures, his good deeds and his misdeeds, his unconventionalities and his eccentric manner. Whether she writes of his odd yet common-sense way of quarrelling with her father, his escapades in the township, or of the way he imparts his vast knowledge to his nephews and nieces, Uncle Charlie is brought to life in every chapter.'
