A golden age!

The old Puffin books were wonderful, weren't they? When the offspring were younger, I used to snap up ANY Puffin I saw in charity shops and jumble sales. Someone was talking about Kaye Webb on The Book Show some weeks ago. Not a very happy life...

I remembered to put my name this time!

If you have a reading child, as I did, you scour jumble sales and charity shops for more books, don't you? That's where a lot of my old Puffins came from but you don't see them now.

I reviewed Valerie Grove's biography of Kaye Webb here.

Thank you for the link! I didn't know about your blog when you first posted this, or I'd have commented then, too! Charlotte Sometimes... The Woolpack... Wonderful! The offspring and I adored these books. I feel old fuffy-duddiness coming on, but are they writing books like this now?

No, but among modern authors I love Hilary McKay. The Exiles and Casson family series are great.

I love the back cover...

The artist had read the book! The door painting is very important.
