    Selim and Thomasina are very put out that they must stay in London during the summer holidays, instead of going to the seaside, just because their aunt and uncle are coming to stay.  (They're not even the nice kind of aunt and uncle!) The hot summer becomes more bearable when an India-rubber ball takes them to Whereyouwantogoto, a magical seaside place where there are no grown-ups around to tell children what to do.  The only condition for staying in this dreamland is that the children must continue to be good, but being good is easy when you're happy… or is it?    Whereyouwantogoto was first published in Nine Unlikely Tales, 1901.

    Victor-Marie Hugo (26 February 1802 - 22 May 1885) was a French poet, novelist, essayist, playwright, and dramatist of the Romantic movement. During a literary career that spanned more than sixty years, he wrote abundantly in an exceptional variety of genres: lyrics, satires, epics, philosophical poems, epigrams, novels, history, critical essays, political speeches, funeral orations, diaries, and letters public and private, as well as dramas in verse and prose.VOLUME 4: THE IDYLL IN THE RUE PLUMET AND THE EPIC IN THE RUE ST. DENIS: 1831 and 1832, the two years which are immediately connected with the Revolution of July, form one of the most peculiar and striking moments of history. These two years rise like two mountains midway between those which precede and those which follow them. They have a revolutionary grandeur. Precipices are to be distinguished there. The social masses, the very assizes of civilization, the solid group of superposed and adhering interests, the century-old profiles of the ancient French formation, appear and disappear in them every instant, athwart the storm clouds of systems, of passions, and of theories.
