Childhood Book
I was at a bit of a loss as to what to write about today and decided to share one of my early childhood books with you. I can't remember exactly how old I was when I had this book but my guess is we are talking some 57 years ago. I just loved this book and would spend hours looking at the pretty dresses, reading and dreaming. Doesn't every little girl want to be a fairy princess, I know I did.
I wanted to do a bit of experimenting so I am presenting this as a slide show, sorry if you find it a bit long and tedious. (4 mins approx)
PS If anyone does watch this slide show please will you tell me if jumps or runs smoothly thanks.

What vivid pictures in the book! I can see why you loved it so as a child.
The slide show went very well. I'm trying to learn to do such things, but my learning curve isn't quite as steep as I'd like!

My4kids It's so old and not what children want these days! It was never a well known book.
Alix I haven't quite mastered finding music to fit but I thought it sort of went with the theme!

WT thanks for the link. I remember looking up KB when I got this new MAC and was playing around and wanted to know what this was. I remember reading this, hence my comment!
