The weather was glorious, the stalls were busy, the cow-pats were fresh....

Aaahh. Poor Ginger.
My faves were the Fairy Tale ones - The Princess and the Frog and Snow White and Rose Red.
What a great find - Love the illustrations of Ginger - they will look brilliant as framed prints.
oh jelly..I have this book aswell..it was my dads and was my favourite story too when i went to my grannies house! I loved poor old Ginger ..the pictures are gorgeous and will look lovely framed.
My favourite was the magic porridge pot! I really wanted a pot that made nonstop porridge when I was small.
I loved that book! I also had one about a kitten that I sdored but I can't remember what it was called.
What a wonderful idea to frame the pictures! It'll look great :-)
I got the wise robin in that edition when I was about 4. I'm 57 now!
My fave Ladybird was The Princess and The Pea.... I knew it word for word. I am *so* going to go car booting to find some wonderful stuff!
