Another 'does anyone remember this book' thread.

[FromMeToYou]

I read it in the late '70s or early '80s. It was about a girl, possibly called Persephone, who lived with her parents and ?brother? above a chip shop. There was a sister who went to a boarding ballet school. The brother also had a talent, but the main character did not, so people always said that she had beautiful teeth. The other siblings did too but they also had other talents whereas she did not. I think she had the attic bedroom.

Any ideas?

Loved Urshula bear - have just brought some for dd1

It was a youth club near The Fountain. Some of my neighbours went. They did am dram and music. I think there's a group on FB, with photos. I look from time to time to see if I recognise anyone (I haven't so far). Anyway, you might recognise some faces. The place became a tv studio eventually, and I think they're building houses there now.

Jux By the time I was old enough to go to Brownies we'd moved so no. My mother & granny did go to see Ready Steady Cook be recorded once (we didn't move far).

sorry, got a bit over-excited there!

I have hijacked the thread; I'm so sorry. I'll stop now; please go on talking about books, it was interesting reading and links.

just wanted to say thanks to allstopped up I asked about a book I used to read to DS the other day and you said you thought it was the Three Legged Cat and it was!!

Am so thrilled to get it again to read to my DGS.. thanks a lot!! ( yay to the power of MN!)
