Nicolas Bentley claimed Winner of the Carnegie MedalIn the English village of Midmeddlecum, Major Palfrey asks his two daughters to behave themselves while he is off at war. Sighs Dinah, ´I think that we are quite likely to be bad, however hard we try not to be,´ and her sister Dorinda adds helpfully, ´Very often, when we think we are behaving well, some grown-up person says we are really quite bad. It´s difficult to tell which is which.´ Sure enough, the mischievous sisters soon convince a judge that minds must be changed as often as socks, stage an escape from the local zoo (thanks to a witch´s potion which turns them into kangaroos), and—in the company of a golden puma and silver falcon—set off to rescue their father from the tyrant of Bombardy. A tale of hilarity and great adventure, The Wind on the Moon is also a work of high seriousness; after all, ´life without freedom,´ as the valiant puma makes clear, ´is a poor, poor thing.´
