Literature Love // Childhood Classics...






Little M loves a good book, here he is having a little read through some Selected Tales of Edgar Allan Poe just before his second birthday... No matter how busy we are and how much we struggle sometimes to squeeze in a bit of reading ourselves, M always has a couple of stories read to him every day. Whether its his quite contempoary collection of Oliver Jeffers books or his very lovely Rob Ryan ones (a little too lovely, he's under strict instruction to be very gentle with those!) right through to classic kids stories that have been treasured by many for generations...






We love our mid century retro-reads and Little M is equally enamoured with timeless classics including Maurice Sendick's Where the Wild Things Are from 1963 and Judith Kerr's ever popular 1968 story The Tiger Who Came to Tea, so much so the other night he gathered up a little gang of bears and settled down to share his favourite story with them too...






Can't wait to pass on more of our childhood favourites! Growing up Lola had a full collection of these sweet books The Butterfly Children, sweet little winged children who sleep in flowers and have lots of adventures...

Rhi has a well read and much loved collection of Posey Simmonds books, including Fred (about a cat, who was a rock star, unbeknownst to the family who owned him), The Chocolate Wedding and Lulu and The Flying Babies (about a little girl who gets lost in a museum with a cherub statue and an angel baby from a painting! N'aw!)

Would love to hear what your favourite stories growing up were?

Much love,
R&L xx

Tim and the Hidden People are incredible books but they're about £1,000 for the set, very cool though.
