feather_ghyll: Girl reading a book that is resting on her knees (Default)
I'm currently reading Dean's Ideal Book for Girls - the one with a blonde girl in red and white sitting on a swing, surrounded by three friends, on the cover. I'm going through it at a rate of one story a day. It features stories by C. Bernard Rutley (boo - not a fan) and Mabel E. Allan (hooray).

So far, well, the most interestng part of 'Carnival Night' about outgoing Robina finding a tobogganing companion in Terry, playing Good Samaritan and getting to the carnival in time was when Terry's aunt provided a fabulous fancy dress costume for Robina to wear at the carnival.

"It was bought a long time ago for a very special occasion," her aunt replied, gently stroking the velvet. "But it s silly of me to keep it hidden away.

The story hinted at there was so much more intriguing than the actual story.

The previous owner coloured in all the illustrations, which I rather like actually.
