It’s World Book Day and children everywhere are dressing up as they’re favourite characters
https://www.worldbookday.com/
Camilla said one of her favourite books as a child was Black Beauty, which she cried over. Me too
Let’s join in!
What was a favourite book from your childhood and who would you dress up as?
I went through a stage of loving Wurzel Gummidge so I’d go as Aunt Sally!

I really, really got into The Planet of The Apes series of books during the early 70’s.
No doubt about it, I’d have to go as Galen!
I had a similar haircut…it was the 70’s.

I loved the Nancy Drew series.
Just need to find a flashlight (torch) and maybe a magnifying glass. She’s a girl detective.

I wanted to be George in Enid Blyton’s Famous Five. I was a tom boy in those days.

Oh yes! I wanted to be George too! Who would want to be wimpy Anne?
Did you know Enid Blyton based George on herself?

Could be your avatar
I was thinking of just the magnifying glass but maybe too creepy?

My niece has sent me an adorable photo of her 4 year old son today, dressed up in a snail costume, it’s like a tabard with a built-in hood with little antennae sticking up from the hood - he is clutching this book - he looks so cute in his Snail Outfit.

The Hardy Boys?
Probably not very well known over the pond.
I bet they wouldn’t be seen dead without a flashlight
There was a story when they solved a mystery of a so called haunted house.

I can’t hear “turnip” without thinking Blackadder and Baldrick
