And ices..don't forget ices.

Thanks Trevor...late Yule pressies for the kids maybe?

I rather liked the Rilloby Fair Mystery and the Rubadub Mystery and all that series. They may all seem silly now but they certainly answered a need at the time. You have to remember that kids were somewhat less sophisticated in those days. Though I used to devour anything with words printed in it. I read "Gulliver's Travels" alongside all the Enid Blyton etc, and at the age of eight, found "Lord of the Flies" on the bathroom floor where my Dad had been reading it, and read that. Can't say I enjoyed it though....

I discovered the "Anne of Green Gables" books when I was 11 and they were and are still among my favourites.

Love Lynne
