Silly Verse for kids, ahhh... my 1960-something version is still on our bookshelf. But then so are my Ladybird books.... maybe we have too many bookshelves.... |
I admit to 6 of those (well, more than that, but examples in 6 categories), all still on the shelf. One can never have too many bookshelves. |
Now we are six, worth regular re-reading. Ladybird books. I still look at "The History of Clothes and Costume" I don't know where the eye spy books went but I loved "The Observer's book of Pond Life" |
Marvellous! Your collection can't have been thrown away by your m*ther on a cleaning jag. How are you for period comics (Dandy, Look-In, etc?) |
Period comics, not so good. Owned plenty, kept none. Sob. |
I read my copy of Swallows and Amazons so much it fell apart. Watership down went the same way. |
The only poem I know comes from "Silly verse for Kids" String, string a wonderful thing Rope is thicker but string is quicker. |
Yes I've still got 'Now we are six' on my bookshelf as well (and copies of 'Now we are sixty' and 'Now we are sixty {and a bit}' by Chistopher Matthew given to me more recently). Also nestling there are both 'Down with Skool' (8s/6d) and 'Whizz for Atomms' by Geoffrey Williams and Ronald Searle, 'A dustbin of Milligan or concentrated rubbish' (10s/6d) and a copy of the Highway Code for 1954 which cost 1d and that includes the hand signal for car drivers wishing to indicate 'I am ready to be overtaken'. |
I'd be interesed in buying "Secret of the Seventh Star" if you still have it... Jez |
