Christmas loft treasure no.5 – ‘Christmas’, by Jan Pieńkowski
I’m not enough of a wordsmith to describe just how elated I was when I discovered this book – the last festive loft treasure I’m sharing this week – among the boxes in Dad’s loft. This book, beyond all the others I owned, epitomised Christmas for me (dare I say it, even more so than […]
Christmas loft treasure no.4 – ‘Mog’s Christmas’, by Judith Kerr
This gorgeous book was among my own loft treasures, but I know Judith Kerr’s delightful protagonist will be familiar to people of many different ages as well.

Paper-cut perfection
This is a slightly unusual post, in that it’s about two books that I haven’t shared with the boys much yet but have pored over time and time again myself. I’ve been a huuuuuuuge fan of Rob Ryan and of paper-cutting ever since I came across his book ‘A Sky Full Of Kindness’ (which I […]
