Clearly t'other Sue has the right idea and they would need to be wrenched away from you Sue. Yes Enid Blyton was a bit of a foodie. With serviettes though I'd imagine! I will seek out the Russian Mabon as well - thanks!Steve Gladwinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01809330248051701869noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7780182174577095197.post-43510790631877290622016-02-23T14:19:53.753+00:002016-02-23T14:19:53.753+00:00I don't have any of the books I read at that a...I don't have any of the books I read at that age - I borrowed them all from the school and public libraries. Though I do remember buying Enid Blyton's Shadow the Sheepdog with my pocket money and being very proud of it. Oh, the lemonade and the thick slices of fruit cake.

Nobody's having them.<br />Mabon reminds me a little of the Russian Koshka the Undying, who is a prisoner in the dungeons of Maraya Marevna - until he's found and released by Prince Ivan (who was told not to open that door!) But Koshka is a distinctly sinister figure.Susan Pricehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07738737493756183909noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7780182174577095197.post-21205989086325777292016-02-23T13:07:10.692+00:002016-02-23T13:07:10.692+00:00I really enjoyed reading your blog.

Reminded me of the delightful pile of books I received at Christmas throughout my childhood. <br />I too love to read children's books and recently read 'Dear Nobody' by Berlie Doherty. It was the most compelling book I've read in a long time. Beautifully written. Thanks again.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
