Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. "The Young Pretenders" (1895) is a children's book whose sophistication, humour and ironies are nowadays appreciated by both children and adults. Babs lives most contentedly in a large house in the country with her grandmother, her nanny and her brother (their parents are in 'Inja'). Then their grandmother dies and they are sent to live in Kensington with their uncle and his wife. Having run wild in the country, spent hours with the gardener (very like the gardener in "The Secret Garden") and had a great deal to do and to think about, suddenly they are abandoned in a world of artifice and convention and are expected to behave artificially and conventionally. 'It all came of so much pretending. But then it was simply impossible for the children not to pretend. It would have been so dull to have lived their child lives only as the little Conways, when they might be pretending that they were such exciting things as soldiers or savages, cab-horses or mice.'Babs cannot, of course, stop playing, and the central theme of the book is that she has not learned how to dissemble (as opposed to playing 'let's pretend') but must learn how to do so.However, as Charlotte Mitchell, the Preface writer, says, this is not a solemn book, on the contrary, 'its great characteristic is a gay malicious irony' as Babs misunderstands the adult world and fails to conform to adult norms.'As anyone who has tried to bring up children knows, you spend a good deal of time teaching them to be insincere, to simulate gratitude or contrition, and not to repeat other people's comments at the wrong moments. Many of the jokes depend on the fact that Babs has yet to learn these lessons.'The focus, and the star, of "The Young Pretenders" is Babs. She is intelligent, fun, kind, lively and honest and it is hard to think of a heroine in children's fiction (that is, fiction written for children but enjoyed equally as much by adults) who is like her. Her most touching characteristic is her openness and her complete lack of fear. "'What was we naughty about?'" she asks her brother after their uncle scolds them: 'The children could not know that some very persistent tradesmen had insisted on immediate payment of their bills.' When the news comes from India that they have a new sister Babs thinks of a name for her - Mrs Brown.Her aunt slaps her down, saying that it's not a name but Babs persists, "'It is, I know it is, 'cause nurse has a sister-in-law what's called it.'"Then she 'began to think so hard that she refused a second helping of pudding' eventually announcing, to renewed scorn, that "'I'd like her to be called Strawberry Jam.'" Five year-old Babs Conway lives contentedly in a large house in the country with her grandmother, her nanny and her brother. After their grandmother dies they are sent to live in Kensington with their uncle. Abandoned in an artificial urban world, Babs finds it hard to conform and, especially, to learn how to dissemble.
