years ago I gave my friend's young children books cos they had a shopaholic mother & relatives all over the country & consequently far too many toys#

The family's books lived on half a shelf in the living room & most of these books were cookbooks! I don't think they would have had any books if it wasn't for me. Dunno fi they read them tho, but I still gave 'em books.

# - tis so, cos they had toys in each bedroom & the family room, & kept the toys they didn't play with on top of baby's built-in wardrobe.
