shark - o



Last week I came across a great array of childrens' books. I love the graphics and illustrations of annuals and albums from the 40's, 50's etc. How exciting it would've been waiting for each years annual. Much like wating for records, 1982 up in lights, 1983 the breakers...hmm maybe not.
Anyway they all seem to contain something that's a little wrong for todays times; such as shark-o, 'the natives were too busy clubbing their captive'. But I'm feeling rather like the shark today, Arthur decided it was time for breakfast at 5.30 am. It's going to be a long day. Thanks to everyone who's popped by and said hello, it's nice here.

A girl after my own heart - I love those vintage books and can never resist them! Even if, as you say, they are sometimes a bit 'wrong' for today!
