Annuals have become a bit of a tradition in the UK, with large numbers being published shortly before the end of each year aimed at the Christmas market. They usually contain a collection of short stories, poems and puzzles; although in recent years many have been dedicated to sport, TV programs, celebrities and that type of thingbarbaraannefishernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4496559191887463909.post-20762380376235314122012-01-17T15:28:56.563+00:002012-01-17T15:28:56.563+00:00Glad you are enjoying them.

I'm trying to remember what monthlies I might have read, but right now that detail is missing from the brain cells. Keep the covers coming and maybe they'll jiggle something inside my head.

I did have a Children's Annual - not the one you have here but the look of it was very much the same. I think it belonged to my mom's brother and was passed down to me.
