I have a different copy than this one though. I like my cover better but I couldn't find it on the internet.

lol. i don't remember them that well. what size are yours? mine are just normal book size, they are probably not as fancy as yours. and i have no idea where they are so i can't dig them out and have a look to see how fancy the illustrations are. i do remember that one of them (i think it was the wishing chair one) had a very bright blue cover? could be something else though, i just associate "wishing chair" with "blue".

I'm unsure what the cover was like, but they were bigger than "regular book size", well bigger than adult paperback size, probably fairly normal for a picture book. And every page had full-colour illustrations. There was no white at all.

Mine were from the early 80s I think. They were so amazing, I'd rate them as close to the perfect books for imaginative children.

I liked Beatrix Potter ones until I read Squirrel Nutkins. It scared me.
I like Ragdolly Anna best, and I liked books that made lists of things as well.

Squirrel Nutkins is one of the ones I don't have

Maybe I should build my collection to full.

Clever Polly and the Stupid Wolf - Catherine Storr

Oh, Tom Sawyer, without a doubt. Also Enid Blyton books, and Roald Dahl. I had some nice fairy tale versions too with swirly pictures of marbled skies.

But Clever Polly beats them all.

i thought of another one - The Stinky Cheese Man!!
MOST FAVOURITE BOOK EVAR.



this is my profile pic on blogspot, lol:






more pics later because this book is seriously epic, but there aren't many pics on google so i'll probably have to scan them :/ annoying. but worth it!

this is the cover!

i loved this book a lot too, i loved anything that was "fairy tales retold" and i wrote a lot of stories inspired by this idea.
