We had plenty of  hand-me-down clothes when we were kids but were never stinted on materials to create or inspire. I have been trying to track down some of the magnificent, illustrated, childrens books our Dad routinely brought home and am finding them woefully expensive or near impossible to find. This is 'Pandora' by the remarkable Janet and Anne Graham Johnstone, sisters who spent most of their lives in Suffolk, who studied art at St Martins then worked together all their lives. They produced Starlight Barking, Midnight Kittens and numerous adorable fairies and nursery rhymes. Also Grimm Fairytales and Greek & Roman Mythologies that still operate on my imagination.
