CHILDRENS BOOKS FOR GROWN UP CHILDREN !

How many of us can forget growing up with our children's books ! Some of us like to re- read them or better still introduce them to our children or grandchildren. My own personal memories include 'Biggles' by the redoubtable W E Johns,' Just William ' by Frank Richards and even Billy Bunter ! Even Enid Blyton (who lived a few streets away from me for many years) has really stood the test of time and I am frequently asked for copies of 'Black Beauty' by Anna Sewell which was banned in South Africa for  a while !In fact for me it is a stock line. Oh happy days !
Fortunately I have been able to find copies of these books for my readers just to illustrate that Africaner alone  is not all that I keep in stock Isn't nostalgia wonderful !
