Great books from my childhood!

I am doing some clearing out in my house at the moment. 

The problem with my cleaning / "clearing out" is that I always find it hard to throw stuff away.

 

Case in point - the items pictured below.

I came across these 3 books tucked away in a press...and I am telling you now these bad boys are going nowhere!

 

These books are A4 in size with a soft cover.  They were published by World and Whitman and the author is one Brenda Asley.  Good woman Brenda!

 

They would have arrived in our house from Granda Fluskey - he probably bought them originally for our Uncle Brian around 1980 (Brian would have been around 10).  We had them in our house around 1986/87/88 if I remember correctly.

 

I loved the stories in these books. 

Famous Disasters and Famous Mysteries were my favourite.

 

I see there was another title "Famous Places". 

I must see if I can buy it on the internet and complete the set!

I especially enjoyed Have They Lived Before and The Thing in Loch Ness.

 

So there you have it!  A blast from the past!
