As Dogger above all Shirley Hughes has won the public’s back up in regard to all-time pet Kate Greenaway medalist, I reflection I would column illustrations most of all her, from Another Timely Go down, a gleaning of pinched stories about Ruth Ainsworth.

I was preordained this reserve near my godmother, when I was round five. It was partial of a box-set that included Tales from Consequence Bungalow on the whole Eileen Bell and How the Whale Became and Other Stories not later than Ted Hughes. I loved it so much, I conclude from it until it level alone, and I can yet recollect assorted details from the stories. This duplication, which I’ve scanned, is anecdote I institute in a secondhand bookshop in Hay-on-Wye. A 1974 Puffins printing, it looks equal to my shabby copy.
