The New First Aid in English

[Dilbertian]

Do you remember this book? It seems so dated more, but, picking it up again for the first time in decades, it still gives me huge pleasure to browse. I'm sure it's responsible for any success I have ever had at Trivial Pursuit, crosswords and pub quizzes!

Yes! My mum had both the old and new editions. Wish she still had them - would be great to flick through.

I had this in the early 1950s to help with preparation for 'the scholarship' (11+, but we didn't call it that in those days).

It was a useful reference book throughout nearly 40 years of teaching.

I bought a new copy about 10 years ago, and recently used it to help DC with work in lockdown.
