Books I've Owned Since I was A Kid. Part 10.

I don't remember being given this book- and there's a scribble inside that looks like the work of a baby, so I'm going to suggest I've had it since I was very small. There's no publication date. Someone- possibly my mother- has written a telephone number on the back cover- Worthing 2753. Who did we know who lived in Worthing? My grandmother perhaps- briefly. Or it could have been a holiday rental.

I had some of those but they wouldn't fit in my pocket :-)

Did you have ISpy books,too?

I'd forgotten the ISpy books, but yes, I had one or two of those.

The artist/writer is someone called Will H. Stevens.

I like the bit about the fierceness of the dormouse :)

It's a scary-looking beast. :)
