who wrote the books 'my naughty little sister'

[misdee]

remember them being read to us at school by one oif the teachers who loved thebooks. want to get one to read to dd1.

Don't forget Rosy-Primrose, her doll. Given to her from Father Christmas, even though she was mean to him and hit him. Loved but ragged

Oh and the first story - she goes fishing with the bigger children, and goes in the water fully dressed. And it is the big children who get into trouble for it in the end

Mr Blakey is the shoe mender man.

Mrs Cocoa Jones makes them their jumpers, and teaches my Naughty Little Sister to knit.

I found some new editions on Amazon Janh & Hula - at least I thought I did. Maybe I had better check because there is something in my shopping basket...
We are getting ds some of these for Christmas as we think it will help him to know other little boys have suffered before him.
If we are talking retro fiction we also plan to get him Milly Molly Mandy, Jennings and Mrs Pepperpot before he is swept away on a Digimon and Bionicle tide for ever...

Yes, it was. Think that is in the purple book DD has - More NLD stories.

i lvoe mrs pepperpot

We also have Milly Molly Mandy. DD likes the stories but doesn't get quite as excited about them - reckon MMM isn't as naughty though; she's a biit of a good girl isn't she?

Thanks goodness for that Hula I thought I was going mental. I must have been mulling this over at the same time as misdee because I found them yesterday.
Despite being a Dalek fiend ds still adores Clever Polly and the Stupid Wolf (they really loved their non-PC terminology in the 60s and 70s didn't they), so he is not too brainwashed into only reading "boys' fiction".

The first one is definitely the best

and can I also recommend, for girls that are entranced by the naughtiness factor, the Amelia Jane stories and Pippi Longstocking (slightly older girls - dd1's heroine)

She got measles and it was all very blase about her being a terribly spotty child! (How times have changed)

I've got all the naughty little sister ones, Milly Molly Mandy, Naughty Amelia Jane (dd2's namesake and Mrs Pepperpot!

Are we all born at the same time do you think

i'm an 80's child. anybody else?

1973

I adored Amelia Jane, the way at the end of every story she promised to be good from now on. I remember lying in bed reading the same stories over. I still have one of my originals.

1973 here too

Yep, must have been the craze then, now they've just boring old Harry Potter

yes. i have the magic faraway tree here as well. somewhere.

I remember the one where the tide came in and she got stuck on a rock.
No i don't remember those ones.

A few years later i loved all the boarding School ones, the twins and midnight feasts, then a few years later the .......was it sweetheart? series.

oh i just grinned at the memory.
Both!

I remember a book about a pair of moccasin! Very strange!
