Seemed weird, considering that the rest of the Ruggles family did not. I absolutely loved the books, but Kate got on my nerves at times. I thought her slightly "jumped up"! She could speak much posher than Miss Alison from The Priory.Drewhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02476860681853867684noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1980962366285294991.post-79658485108932660842009-10-31T11:59:57.132+00:002009-10-31T11:59:57.132+00:00I am so glad that you have managed to buy the Gall...I am so glad that you have managed to buy the Galldora books, and it's lovely that you're reading them with your daughter, so another generation will know of her. I don't know whether I read The New Adventures of Galldora, but in my copy of Galldora I carefully coloured in all the pictures!<br />It seems that many of us grew up loving the same books. I am so impressed with your Miss Happiness and Miss Flower, and the little box is just beautiful. I know some of the other books you show here, and some of the authors, but not all, so I will track down the ones I don't! What fun - thank you!Rebeccahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11859849266660930171noreply@blogger.com
