[OT] Children's Book
Ok, this is one of th emost obscure thigns i"ve ever asked, but RPCA
collectively seems to know pretty much everything, so I thought I'd ask. When i was a kid (ie, 30 odd years ago) I had a a children's book that I'd like to find again. It was on the alphabet, but not the usual sort of picture & alphabet book. Each letter had an illustration and a short rhyme that had a large amount of alliteration (sp?) in it. All I can remember about it is 'G' had something baout "goats eat gammon" and 'M' was about "The Mirror Men". The Mirror Men were stick figures, with mirrors for faces. It may have been origially published in England (rather than Australia). My Mother and my sister also very fondly remember the book, but its gone missing, and we'd *love* to see it again. Unfortuantley none of us can remember the title or the author. If anyone has any idea what this book was called, or who wrote it, the whole Chapman clan would be very very grateful. Yowie |

Yowie, Try posting to rec.arts.books.childrens . Somebody there might remember it, or might have an idea of where to post. I remember there was also either an email list or a newsgroup devoted to a "looking for long-lost books" sort of thing. I used it to find a book that a good friend had read as a child, but couldn't find, so I could give it to her as a surprise. Somebody emailed me to say that they had seen the book in a store that was local to me. I called them, and yep, they had it! So you might ask about that on r.a.b.c as well. Joyce |
