Fridge / The Green Knowe Chronicles

Fridge Horror

• To a child reading the second book, Stefton and Caxton's treatment of Jacob is pretty nasty; it's even worse, however, from the point of view of an adult who is aware of the racial context and overtones.
• Caxton's plan to marry nine-year-old Susan is even worse to an adult, who knows what people do when they are married.
