More Old school Limey kiddie fiction. I LOVED Basil Brush as a kid. I had the Basil hand puppet and all.
Scarecrow Worzel Gummidge and Aunt Sally stories were always laying about the house too but frankly they were quite frightening.

no way. that's awesome. I am going to ask my mom if she still has the doll I had of Worzel... he was made of sponge and came with several plastic heads that you could pop off and change around...so he could go from Scarecrow to Man. If I find it I will share it with your hubby.
another of my faves.

| There was one collection of books i used to read when i was really little but i can't remember the name! :( It was about a royal family with the baby, the gardener, the nanny, etc. Had to do with their sort of every day life. I wish i could remember what it was called :(:( |

OMG I LOVE YOU Andrea! You COMPLETELY reminded me of my childhood, memories I'd forgotten. Thank you so much.
Bill Peet books were some of my favourites too, if not my very favourites!!!! The drawings inspired me to draw (I used to draw manically all thru public and high school). Truly inspirational these books were on me. I still look at the covers and wanan pick up a pencil and sketch! WOw~! I am still amazed! THE WUMPS was a truly wonderful book. I feel the need to re-read these books or go out and purchase them RIGHT NOW!!!!!!
And Ronald Dahl... he is _THE_ reason I got hooked on reading! I STILL enjoy his books, Matilda being my favourite! I ABSOLUTELY LOVE his novels. The depictions too. They completely trigger my imagination like nothing else. I've read them ALL!
OMG... this is so wonderful... LOL...
