More about the book
The story centers on Martin Rattler, a mischievous boy viewed as "remarkably bad" by his aunt, Mrs. Dorothy Grumbit, who finds him to be a constant source of frustration. Despite her claims, the villagers of Ashford seem to delight in Martin's antics, greeting him warmly and expressing a belief in his potential for improvement. This contrast between his aunt's disdain and the villagers' affection highlights themes of perception, mischief, and the inherent goodness in children, suggesting that Martin's character may be more complex than it appears.
