Barbie Annual | Grandreams Limited
post image

My daughter is seriously into Barbie right now and she received this annual for Christmas. I was trying to explain to her what a big deal annuals were when I was her age. They were a Christmas staple. I absolutely loved them and read them repeatedly all through the year. The excitement of unwrapping one on Christmas morning was unparalleled! I remember a Bunty one I was particularly fond of, can even recall one of the stories in it.

TrishB I love annuals ♥️ yes definitely one of the best Christmas piles! 2y
Blueroseis I purchased some annuals for two of my Grandchildren in 2020 along with other books. They loved the books but didn't seem that enthusiastic with the annuals so I didn't get them anymore. I used to hate receiving annuals as Christmas presents when a boy, preferring to have toys to play with rather than books. 2y
DivineDiana I am not familiar with annuals. 🤔 2y

readingjedi @Blueroseis My husband and his brother had them as kids but only football ones and the WWII adventure stories - think it was called Victor. 2y
readingjedi @TrishB After posting this I disappeared down a Google-hole of reminiscing - so many memories! Even found the Judy annual from 1985 to buy! 2y
readingjedi @DivineDiana I think it's a 'British thing'. They are hardback A4 books of weekly comics produced yearly around Christmas time. 2y
DivineDiana What fun! We do not have them in the USA. Thank you. 🙂 (edited) 2y
Dragon We had a Peanuts one when I was growing up - loved Snoopy and the gang ( I think it would be considered an annual) 2y
