Other books in this series include:
Cushy Butterfield
Cushy Butterfield collected clay, which she rolled into balls and sold to the house-proud who treated their floors and steps with it. She chose not to marry her keelman, to his great sorrow, and left him singing the well-known refrain of ‘She’s a big lass and a bonny lass and I wish she was here’
The Blaydon Races
The children’s adaptation of The Blaydon Races, which has been the anthem of Tyneside in North East England since music hall performer George Ridley wrote it in 1862.
The Bamburgh Serpent
Children’s adaptation of the legend of Childy Wynd, son of the King of Bamburgh, who returns home to Northumberland to slay a vicious serpent. Kissing the monster, he realises that it is actually his beautiful sister Margaret who had been cursed by their jealous stepmother.
