Good. Enjoyed revisiting stories that I had grown up with. Loved how it told a variety of stories.

And for this evening‘s “totally stress-free read with a glass of wine”...

I know this was a huge childhood favourite for some of you but I somehow missed out. Here I go! 😄

Leftcoastzen I missed out too! Will watch to see what you think of it. 4y
Birdsong28 Love her!!! My mum passed her love of her down to me. She told me told me she used to follow all her adventures on the map at the front when she was told the stories by her mum! Have you got this one? 4y
Mrs_B I loved these! I always wanted to live in a thatched house because of these books! 4y

LeahBergen @Leftcoastzen It was really sweet! The perfect sort of read-aloud stories. ❤️ 4y
LeahBergen @Birdsong28 I followed along on the little map, too! 😆 I don‘t have the book you tagged (this was my first). It was absolutely delightful! 4y
LeahBergen @Mrs_B I‘ve always wanted a thatched house, too. 😆 4y

#StoryBookSunday #PLC #ParanormalLoveCrew

Milly Molly Mandy used to be one of my favourite childhood books. It used to drive my mum mad to read it to me though!

ElizaMarie Ooo Never even heard of this one! 4y
thegirlwiththelibrarybag Yessss! I had some on cassette and I would always get scared in one story when they climb over a fence that has a ‘trespassers will be shot‘ sign on it to pick blackberries 😂 I‘ve always been a bit taken with fried onion and bread for supper too - sounds delicious! 4y
jb72 It sounds cute! 4y

Found at today‘s book sale:

I don‘t know how I didn‘t find this as a child but Lucy Mangan‘s book, Bookworm: A Memoir of Childhood Reading, made me want to read it!

rubyslippersreads Did you leave anything for anyone else at this sale? 😂 5y
Leftcoastzen Cool! 5y

Rissreads I loved Milly Molly Mandy as a kid 💜 5y
Birdsong28 😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍 Such a good book, my mum read this as a little girl and would use the map in the front as she read the stories. I have also read this. 📚📖 5y
Blaire I‘ve never read this one but now I want to as well as the book that led you to it. Stacked and stacked. 5y
Aimeesue Mangan's book was the first time I'd heard of it - I was curious about it too. 5y
Reviewsbylola I found this when I was in England! I was so happy to discover it! 5y
Reviewsbylola Yours is in much better condition than mine though. 5y
LeahBergen @rubyslippersreads No. I did not. 😆😆 Well, to be truthful... I didn‘t leave anything for anyone who has my (slightly weird) taste. So you would be out of luck. 😆😆 5y
LeahBergen @Birdsong28 The map at the frog is SO cute!! 5y
LeahBergen @Blaire 😆😆 5y
LeahBergen @Aimeesue It seems quite lovely! 5y
LeahBergen @Reviewsbylola Mine is a newer reprint. Yours is much nicer! 😄 5y
Chrissyreadit Yes- this is a book I was curious about because it is mentioned in other books. 5y
Leftcoastzen Speaking of weird taste , I have been at book sales where I pull several books that belonged to the same person, known because of bookplate or address label .And I think I wish I knew this person, we have the same taste in books! 5y
LeahBergen @Leftcoastzen That‘s happened to me at sales, too! I love it! 5y
Centique Oh my lord, this book was my first literary love. 😍😍😍 I even had a cat called Milly Molly Mandy as a child. 😻 5y
LeahBergen @Centique That is seriously the best cat name ever!! ❤️❤️ 5y

Spotted these in a bookstore and I just love the covers! I'm not familiar with the stories though. Has anyone read these?

LeahBergen I've heard of these but I never read them in childhood (I'd like to now, though 😆). 7y
TrishB A definite read here. Had all these in illustrated versions - lost over the years. 7y
KerriNTurner @LeahBergen I want to read them now too! I love children's books 😊 7y

I'm going to double up here. Favourite children's book for #riotgrams and beloved location for #17booklove.

Because I always wanted to live in Milly Molly Mandy's village and this was my first book-map-love. ❤❤❤

Bookworm54 I loved Milly Molly Mandy! Though my mum hated the number of times she had to read everyone's names. 😋💕 7y
