I enjoyed reading and was actually very good at it too. I have such fond memories of racing through each book in order to get to the next one. Thank you so much. You have no idea what this means to me seeing all this again...about 45 years later.<br /><br />NOSTALGIA - South AfricaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2772532068403786265.post-42853134514874778972014-09-04T03:44:32.245+01:002014-09-04T03:44:32.245+01:00I learned with these books in Elementary.

I must have about a dozen of those still-tucked away with Brer Rabbit, no doubt! Don't know if I would dare show them in the light of day now. How very un-PC! But the colourful(!)drawings were what attracted me so much and stories were fun too. Oh, happy, simple days!!
