... can anyone help me with something that was probably called a "Treasury" or a "Golden Treasury" and probably published by Paul Hamlyn (as I've seen volumes of theirs from around the relevant date, and the presentation looks similar to what I remember), probably around, hmmm, 1962-7ish, as it was my older sister's, and big, fat, square and pink-cloth-bound, and (and here we get a little more specific) it had in it:
- an extract from Rikki Tikki Tavi; and
- the most extraordinarily spooky surreal story, again set in sub-continent or similar, about a boy (orphaned I imagine) who has to spend a night in a temple, and is somehow warned to make sure he finds a small, secure place to sleep, and does, and comes out in the morning to find the place has been completely razed by (?) a rat plague
