Kids of the 70's

[B00]

Ok, which ones of these did you own?

Looking at these covers sparked so many memories for me, I had (from memory)

Cinderella
Sleeping Beauty
The Little Red Hen
Beauty and the Beast
Sly Fox
Repunzel.

Wish I still had them!

Would help if I posted the link eh?

From memory....I rather think I had all of those!!

Blimey, takes me back....:o)

I was born in 1977 and I had them all in a bookcase. Some of mine had the same cover designs as the link, but many were different. I have no idea where they are now :(

[B00]

Don't they Jack?

Couldn't believe how well i remembered them! Especially the Beauty and the Beast one, as I remember being very very scared of the Planet of the Ape type beast.

[B00]

possibly yours were later editions V&C?

[B00]

I might have had them all Jack, however the ones in my OP are the ones that made me think "wow, I remember that!"

[cupid04]

I had most of Enid Blyton's books. My favourite was 'Shadow the sheepdog.'

[EcclesCake]

OMG, I had most of these books as a child.

I loved the illustrations and wished I was the Princess/Rapunzel/etc....

I can feel a new collection coming on.......

I was around well before the 70s, but we had Little Golden Books from America

I especially loved Snow White and Rose Red.

oh - I thought that one in the fourth row said Elvis and the Shoemaker

<cleans specs>

[ELVIS68]

Blimey, seeing The Elves and the Shoemaker book just gave me goosebumps.

That book cover scared the poop outta me when I was a kid

[sherrardk]

Can't say I remember the Big Pancake but I do remember the Enormous Turnip (and most of the others).

80s childs.

[ichkeria]

It is the history books that I remember - and the wonderfully named L du Garde Peach who wrote a lot of them.

[Ric.ror]

I did not have any of those but I remember them from school
I think the Cinderella one had her going to three different balls but I may be wrong

[Jansy]

Ahh yes, memories! I had Sleeping Beauty, Dick Whittington, The Little Red Hen, The Princess and the Pea, Puss in Boots, The Sly Fox and my favourite, Cinderella. I just loved the blue dress she wore with the lace...

All of them! I notice they say, 'says' in these books, but my daughters school books now say 'said.
