How about Milly Molly Mandy?  Can't remember who wrote it though.

I'm reading my original Milly Molly Mandy book to my 5 year old grandaughter at the moment. It says "told and drawn by Joyce Lankester Brisley". My little grandaughter just loves the illustrations.

Did anyone else have a John Bull Printing Outfit...little rubber letters that you used a pair of tweezers to line them up?....I seem to remember wanting a Petite typewriter that year  ::) I did get one though but maybe it was the following year...I seem to remember that it had a dial that you twisted to get the right letter and the ribbon was blue at the top and red at the bottom half :D

I remember having both of those. This thread is certainly bringing back memories of Christmas past.
