Sticky; I was adopted into a step-family at thea age of 11 and the new house had old books and comics dating from the war years. Lottie the Land Girl and Clicky-Ba were before my time, but fascinating glimpses of the war and pre-war years. If you were around when they were newly published, then you are certainly not a kid.

The Wizard - lots of text and very few pictures - Wilson the Amazing Athlete was brilliant (if a tad jingoistic).

Bobbi, my mum objected to me having my head in anything not a prayer book or catechism so comics were a big no-no.
However I had a couple of lovely neighbouring friends who passed on their comics to me. Lester gave me The Topper and Beano and Ann gave me any schoolgirl comics and annuals to read in secret...bliss. :-)
I think the time I spent locked in the loo was what caused my mum's daily dose of Exlax for me.....but it was worth it.

Very Catholic and odd, Bobbi. She never did find out that I not only joined the library in secret but joined her and my dad too. That way, by forging their signatures, I got five books a week.
Joining a Protestant Brownie Pack in secret at the age of seven worked for a few weeks until Brown Owl turned up at my house to ask why I hadn't got a uniform yet!
