In this tongue-in-cheek take on classic themes in children's literature, the four Willoughby children set about to become "deserving orphans" after their neglectful parents embark on a treacherous around-the-world adventure, leaving them in the care of an odious nanny.

Work Description

La famille Willoughby est composée d'un père irascible, d'une mère paresseuse et froide et de quatre enfants : Timothy, douze ans, les jumeaux Barnaby, dix ans, et Jane, six ans et demi. Un jour, les enfants trouvent un bébé abandonné devant la porte de leur maison. Leur mère, qui déteste ses propres enfants, refuse évidemment de garder le nourrisson. Timothy et toute la fratrie décident alors de laisser le bébé devant la porte d'un voisin milliardaire et solitaire. Prenant ainsi conscience de l'égoïsme de leurs parents, les enfants Willoughby décident d'élaborer un plan pour se débarrasser d'eux. Ce qu'ils ignorent alors, c'est que leurs parents veulent faire de même ... -- Un conte rocambolesque et original s'inspirant avec humour et dérision des classiques de la littérature jeunesse anglo-saxonne. À réserver aux bons lecteurs. [SDM].
