Golden Bear, thanks.

Tommy, did you read it?

I was fascinated by books even at a really young age. We had a book case which housed the complete works of Dickens (which I still have) and a set of Arthur Mee's Encyclopaedias (which my brother still has). I was too young for the Dickens, but I looked through Arthur Mee's and loved the colour plates and reading some interesting things.

I was still engrossed in me Noddy books till I turned five, and by then I was in primary school where we were given Janet and John books to read, but I still enjoyed me Noddy books which I got from the Children's Library in Station Road.
