Rereading this recent purchase - a new edition of my favourite childhood book. I think one reason why Milly Molly Mandy appealed to me so much is that everybody in her family is shown as important - here Brisley lists each family members jobs - and the whole family treats MMM as important too. Although they‘re simple little stories, I think this idea of everybody playing an equal part really appealed to me as a child.

Centique @Ruthiella yes! (Well if I ever get any!) Maybe I‘ll read it to some nieces and nephews before then. 😋 4y

Jeg First books I read when I arrived in Australia in the late 50s . Loved them. So glad they are still around. 4y

Trixie and I have enjoyed these simple, quiet stories of Milly-Molly-Mandy and her friends in a small English village. Whilst stories of magic, fairies and wizards are fun, both my girls have also loved gentle stories of life in earlier times, such as those by Shirley Hughes, Dorothy Edwards and these Milly-Molly-Mandy collections.
