Navy
Blue Knickers And Things That Go Bump In The Night
A delightful little publication by octogenarian author Connie Spendlow
There are very few copies
of this delightful little book available. Highly publishable we are hoping
this announcement will lead to interest from publishing bodies. Meanwhile
grab those last few copies of the original.
First-hand recollections of village life in the thirties told quaintly by
the girl voice of the future lady Connie. Her own delightful artwork sends
us flying into the heart of a small child of the time as we read the innocent
wisdoms that make the world seem realer, simpler too.
Further writings published in periodicals are being gather for an additional
publication and there will be of great interest to anyone wanting to put solidity
to words and images as wonderful as these.
£4 including postage in the UK - Please contact for details.
