Short stories told by tortoise

[Servalan]

I have a memory of a book read to my class by my teacher about a tortoise who told stories to a group of other animals. The stories themselves were all self-contained and weren't themselves about animals. This was about - ahem - 35 years ago. Would really like to track it down for DD

Does this ring a bell with anyone? Thanks :)

This rings bells - could it be 'The Ten Tales of Shellover' by Ruth Ainsworth?
There are copies available on Amazon Marketplace.

Yay! I'm pretty sure that's it!! Hurrah, have just ordered a copy - thank you so much :)

I came to suggest Shellover Happy memories!
How about Olga da Polga too? my DD loves her

I loved Olga - written by Michael Bond? Didn't he write 'Here Comes Thursday' about a mouse...? Going to have a look on Amazon!
