A naughty story

Once upon a time in 1960’s there was a little girl who

got sent out of class for eating sweeties.

She was so annoyed that she stole a book out of the 

school library where she had been sent to stand in the corner.

She hid the book down the back of her green school flannel knickers.

She kept it there all the way home on the bus and sneaked 

it in the house without her mother noticing.

I don’t think her mother would be very happy if she knew and there would certainly have been no candy floss or ice creams next time they went on holiday.

What’s really bad is that the little girl is now 63 and still has the book.  Not stuffed down the back of her knickers thankfully

Here’s a spooky thing

Constance Holme the author of the book

died one month before the little girl was born 

and lived in Milnthorpe, Cumbria where the 

girl holidays every year
