Does anyone remember this book?

I just tried googling but could only find an author called Francesca.
Might be worth trying again.

Could it be ‘ A Girl Named Francesca ‘ by AnneMarie Norden?
It’s available on Amazon but £60 for a paperback!

I could only find this one.

That sounds possible as it's a translation from the German Franziska Struwwelkopf which means shaggy head.

Thanks for your posts - a few links to follow!

Thanks again Gransnetters - and Cygnet, your post was spot on. 'Book located, and the result is one very happy lady! I tried to find it myself without success.

Isn’t t’internet wonderful. Really pleased you found what you were looking for.

My mum told me about a song with her name in from pre war days and when I typed the first line up it popped.

silverlining Yes - I never cease to love the way you can have instant information, or settle bickering, and not have to wait. I have to say the person who wanted this book is so thrilled that I'm glad I asked on here.

So glad we’ve made your friend happy!
