George’s marvellous

medicine
My favorite book from childhood
First impressions
When I was 11 years old, I read this book. I was initially
attracted by the cover, like any child of my age, but while
reading my attention was captivated by the action. It is a
very attractive book, especially for a child, but any adult
can read it for fun.
For today's English lesson, I thought of re-reading the
book in English and honestly I read it with the same
enthusiasm as the first time.
It is about a child who stays at home with his very bad grandmother. He is
responsible for her medicines, so to take revenge on her, he prepares a
medicine with everything he finds around the house and on his parents' farm.
List of ingredients
Toothpaste
Golden gloss hair shampoo
Superfoam shaving soap
Vitamin enriched face cream
Scarlet nail varnish
Hair remover
Dishworth's dandruff cure
Brillident false teeth cleaner
Nevermore ponging deodorant
Liquid paraffin

Perfume: 'Flower of turnips'
Pink plaster powder
Lipsticks
Superwhite washing powder
Waxwell floor polish
After he finishes preparing the
medicine, he gives it to his
grandmother. This starts off
wrong. It grows and grows until
it goes through the roof. At one
point, he chooses to leave to
travel and see the world, but
everything does not stop here in
George's family. I'll let you find
out.
The book is very interesting. Worth reading regardless of age. It is full
of humor and the action is very interesting. The characters have an
interesting character, and if you start reading, you won't put the book
down until you finish it. I enjoyed reading it and talking about it. I
recommend it to all readers who want to remember their childhood.
