Another foray into the category that is "Books I read as a child". I read this as part of "The Compleet Molesworth" which collects all four Molesworth books into one.

I wonder what a child of today would make of Molesworth? Even when I was growing up, in the 1970s, this 1950s depiction of boarding...

This isn't the first time I'm reading the stories of Teskedsgumman, but it's the first time I'm reading them for myself rather than having them being read to me. In this book, other stories are included as well - like one about abandoned toys coming to life one special night so that they can find their way...

An interesting children's book from the 1970s, which succeeds largely on the strength of it's fine grasp of child psychology and language, and its naturalistically rambling, inconclusive plot. I liked it as a child because it felt less like a "story", and more like a slice of life of a real person - albeit...

I didn't read this edition but a 1930 one with Walter Crane Illustrations (of which I would've liked more).

It was neither as preachy as much Victorian children's literature nor as exciting as the best. There were some obvious didactic efforts and some interesting or pretty scenes, but overall...

My thanks to Steerforth Press/Pushkin Press and Netgalley for a review copy of this book.

The Swish of the Curtain is the first of the Blue Door series of books by Pamela Brown, first published in the 1940s. This is a series a goodreads friend of mine had been telling me about for years but I hadn’t...

Read thanks to Open Library. I didn't like this collection as much as others he's written, probably because they were less scary stories and more just plain strange. Not that I don't like strange. Paul Jennings is the master of strange, oddball stories. I don't know where he gets his ideas from, unless...

The Owl Who Was Afraid of the Dark
AuthorJill Tomlinson
Published before I was even born; lying in wait until I had my own children; I have no idea why I chose not to pick this up before now. Tomlinson's 1968 well-loved little book of an owl who would rather be out during the day than the night, is charming. Each chapter has little Plop sent off by his parents (who...
