Must try harder.

petallus Sorry!

petallus Yeah! It's go with the flow time.

Hey what's going on? I entered this thread hoping for a bit of adrenalin-raising controversy only to find we are talking about children's books.

Only joking

Or am I?

imjingl Well done. I think that it is story telling at it's best. If I could choose just two books as being captivating, it would be 'The Little Grey Men' and 'Down the Bright Stream'

I've clicked.

(bites nails nervously. Already bought them books this week )

You can still get it from Amazon

Wonder if it would still appeal to children these days - before I do the one-click.

I'm going to get it off the shelf NOW soop and re-read it. I'll start tonight when I get back from dog training classes. Good timing as I finished the book that I was reading last night

yogagran You've made my day My teacher, Mr Hawkins, read it chapter by chapter to the class in 1948. I was spellbound. As a very old man, the author lived in a bumblebee-like cottage called The Round House, next door to my father, in a small village in Northants. Aren't the illustrations beautiful?

I've still got a copy of The Little Grey Men in the bookshelf, I loved that book. Perhaps my GC will enjoy it when they're a little older too

I digress...

Oh!

BB was the author of wonderful childrens stories. 'Down the Bright Stream' and 'The Little Grey Men' being two [read to me, and then to my son] and then passed on to our grandson.

Or just BB. Then it could mean whatever you happen to think of jingl at the time!

imjingle Yes! Either that or BosBoo

I did think about that soop!

Bags and imjingl
imjingl I used to call my baby son 'Bossy Boots'...a name I love. Perhaps next time you change names you could come back as just that.

Oops! Mine wasn't a big enough WINK!

I'm only joking.

Sorry.

I think you can rest assured that I will never agree with everything you say, jings old bean . Quits, n'est-ce pas?

9!

308!

though I can't always agree with everything Bags says

306 posts so far. What shall we aim for?

I think it easy to become paranoid on Gransnet.

Thanks for that. Much clearer now.
