brthday easter and christmas treats
loved the squeaky clean children
with their picnic baskets
black patent leather shoes
and pretty frocks
having adventures
building sandcastles
exploring rock pools
fish and chips
sun tanlong lazy beach days
a lot of fun
making dolls houses out of shoe boxes
see sawing on a wooden plank
lots and lots of jigsaw puzzles
and comics for rainy days
Those illustrations are wonderful! The series sounds like a great one. I hadn't heard of Enid Blyton (or not that I remember) and none of the books I see online look familiar. I read online that she wasn't "at all popular" in the US, so that would be why.
ReplyDeleteThank you for giving us a bouquet of childhood memories!
ReplyDeleteHow wonderfully delightful! I share more than several of those memories.
ReplyDeleteA lovely list! Not unlike my childhood delights – except I wasn't allowed comics, which my parents disapproved of.
ReplyDeleteThis one made me smile from beginning to end. So much joy. So much fun.
ReplyDeleteI read those. Lots lots of fun. And later Nancy Drew.
