It’s such a long shot. It was a large book, a4 size, hardback, blue I think, and it was a collection of v short bedtime stories, some several on one oage. I was born in 76 so I imagine it was a 70’s book, my parents used to read the stories to me as a child and I really want to try and find a copy. One story I remember v well was an ill child who made a
Patchwork blanket for her dolls with some scraps of material.
Not much to go on I know but I wondered if anyone remembered having the same book and remembers what it was called

Every time I see Nigel Farage I think of Lowley Worm.

Lowly Worm was a favourite in our house, my daughter spent ages trying to find him.

@Valkadin Oops, just realised the one I posted was the one you are talking about.

I've had a look through and can't find a story about a patchwork quilt though, so don't think it's the one OP was looking for

£68 wow ,it might still be at my mum and Dad's somewhere 🤔
