Chitty Chitty Bang Bang

A Note for the Reader

This story takes place in England and, as in England they use English money—peculiarly enough—the American reader will need to know a little—though not a lot—about English currency. So, a pound is worth approximately $2.80 and a shilling is worth 14 cents. And, if your arithmetic is good enough, you should be able to figure out exactly how much things cost in this story.
