#伊喜欢的原版书#3月9日晚，再次向伊推荐这本得奖书The Penderwicks，几分钟后，她就爱上了这本书，260页需要多少时间看完?
btw，前后三次向她推荐这书，今晚成功了。

The Penderwicks are four sisters, as different as chalk from cheese, yet as close as can be. The eldest, Rosalind, is responsible and practical; Skye, stubborn and feisty; dreamy, artistic, budding novelist, Jane; and shy little Batty, who doesn't go anywhere without her butterfly wings.

The eldest, Rosalind, is responsible and practical; Skye, stubborn and feisty; dreamy, artistic, budding novelist, Jane; and shy little Batty, who doesn't go anywhere without her butterfly wings. And not forgetting Hound, their large lumbering lovable dog. The four girls and their absent-minded father head off for their summer holidays, but instead of the cosy tumbledown cottage they expect, they find themselves on a huge estate called Arundel, with magnificent gardens ripe for exploring. It isn't long before they become embroiled in all sorts of scrapes with new-found friend, Jeffrey - but his mother, the icy-hearted Mrs Tifton, must be avoided at all costs. Chaotic adventures ensue, and it soon becomes a summer the sisters will never forget...
获得2005年美国全国图书奖 青少年文学奖的《彭德威克一家》》(The Penderwicks)虽然是珍妮·伯索尔(Jeanne Birdsall)的处女作，但小说以清新幽默的文笔描述了家庭的温馨和童年的天真,唤起了许多成人读者的怀旧情愫。相比起其他入围作品中所写的校园性暴力、城市少年堕落等屡见不鲜的美国题材,这部带着浪漫气息的作品显然更能驱走现代人的倦意。伯索尔在费城西郊长大,从事过多种职业,尤擅长摄影,其作品被多家博物馆和美术馆收藏。虽然她十岁时就有志要成为一名作家,但直到四十一岁才真正开始小说创作。
《彭德威克一家》讲述了鳏居的彭德威克先生和他四个女儿的一段夏日生活。故事开始于彭德威克一家来到位于马萨诸塞的一处农舍度假。农舍旁边的阿伦德尔庄园中住着冷傲的蒂夫顿夫人和她的独生子杰弗里。彭德威克四姐妹很快就与杰弗里成为好友,在他家的花园里度过了一段快乐的时光。在短短的三周里,四姐妹各有一段属于自己的经历。十二岁的罗莎琳德爱上庄园中文雅的少年园艺工人卡格尼,却是一段单相思;十一岁的斯凯以其火爆的脾气与专横的蒂夫顿夫人做了一番较量;十岁的小作家简写出了一本新书;而四岁的巴蒂也和两只兔子成为朋友。她们的父亲彭德威克先生是一位温文尔雅的植物学教授,对她们并不严加管教,却总能在她们最需要安慰和支持的时候出现在她们身边。四姐妹被写得活灵活现,她们争吵,她们骂人,她们不听大人的话。该书读来轻松愉快,趣味盎然。评审小组给了该书很高的评价,认为它可与美国19世纪著名女作家路易莎·梅·奥尔科特的《小妇人》相媲美,书中的四姐妹和《小妇人》中马奇家的四姐妹同样令人过目难忘。
