Tonight we are halfway through Naughty Amelia Jane (1969 edition) which is dog eared and yellow paged, but Isabella just loves it - she can't get enough of it. Although times have changed, the kids certainly still enjoy using their imaginations with these gorgeous books.
My clever Mum has managed to find a copy of The Faraway Tree for Bella's birthday - I can't wait to read it to her. I can still remember the images I used to conjure up when reading about Moon-face, The Saucepan Man, Dame Washalot, and the Angry Pixie, and what about all those fantastical lands; the Land of Birthdays, Land of Take-What-You-Want....
Omg. Folk of the faraway tree one of my Favourites!!!
ReplyDeleteShe will love it.
If you're good I will lend it to you when we have finished :-)
ReplyDeleteI loved Enid Blyton, esp Famous five and secret seven...and my other favourite books when I was little like Milly Molly Mandy, Pippi Longstocking, Mrs Pepperpot, ...can't wait to be able to read these to my girls :)
ReplyDeleteOoo, Milly Molly Mandy - we had such great books didn't we... I still can't get into these Rainbow Magic books... !
ReplyDeleteLovely! We have an identical book. I've got an old copy of Milly Molly Mandy here too if you want to borrow it. And a copy of "Now we are six".
