favourite book: timmy the tug
this is a really charming book.
beautifully printed; presented as a facsimile of the original manuscript.
with an enchanting tale of timmy the tug and his subsequent adventures as he escapes his moorings and explores the high sea.
what makes this book even more charming for is the story behind it:
how it was created over 50 years ago by jim downer who intended to impress a girl who later on became his wife and how the drawings ended up with his friend ted hughes who added his verses and kept them till they were rediscovered by ted's wife in 2008!
wow...
you have to read it for yourself and your kids!
a book worth buying and keeping!
got it from book actually...
