I propped the book up against my printer while answering the ‘phone and when I got back it had fallen open at this page. It would probably have taken me ages to decide on a passage but the decision was taken out of my hands.barbaraannefishernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4496559191887463909.post-84231601404437705882012-01-05T08:25:49.792+00:002012-01-05T08:25:49.792+00:00I’m trying to work out how old your dad is and I’m...I’m trying to work out how old your dad is and I’m guessing probably about the same age as me. I was given a beautiful copy of Dick Whittington one Christmas and I can still ‘see’ the full page colour illustrations.
