這本書描寫的是一個第一次獨自主持教會禮拜的牧師,因為太緊張了而常會在無意間把重要的字給說反了,例如”God”,會說成”Dog”!而他自己並不知道。直到在教堂裏因為這種錯誤而造成了大誤會時,才有人告訴他。他去看醫生,醫生為替這種怪病開什麼處方呢?適合6歲以上兒童閱讀。The Reverend Lee is suffering from a rare and acutely embarrassing condition: Back-to-Front Dyslexia. It affects only his speech, and he doesn't realize he's doing it, but the parishioners of Nibbleswicke are shocked and confused by his seemingly outrageous comments.
At last a cure is found and the mid-mannered vicar can resume normal service. or at least as normal as is possible for a man who must walk backwards to be sure of talking forwards!
A highly comic tale in the best Dahl tradition of craziness, written for the benefit of the Dyslexia Institute. |
