Oh my God Claire, I have a couple of Uncle Arthur's classics too! I find them ultra creepy. I particularly cringed when I read the story of the Wasted Sixpence in Volume 42 (!!!!) Silly Judy put her sixpence in the jukebox and heard "a sound like a frog with a sore throat, a dog baying at the moon, and a little boy banging a drum-all rolled into one" That horrid noise is jazz, and not worth listening to in her father's opinion.
Hi and thanks for dropping by my little blog. It's where I waffle on about the stuff. A bit of craft, a bit of vintage love, and some mothering too (Mum to 1 little girl, wife to 1 big man!) Please leave a comment if you feel so inclined, I love hearing from people, so go on de-lurk.

I have a couple of chairs similar to that in green vinyl!

I have a few Uncle Aurthur books as well. I think they are an absolute hoot!
heh heh ... all I can think of is Glenny Robbins ;)
And yes, why was Vivien scowling, and OMG to what Emma wrote about Jazz !!!! Bizarre..
Yeah, I want the rest of the story - just why is Vivien scowling?
Yes, I have some of these too, picked up at op shops, they are just plain weird!
Well I must say, I do understand, because, whilst not a heathen, I do tend to scowl the minute anyone reaches for a bible.
