Just when I think I've seen all the publications of Cobblers Dream...up pops another one! This version was published in 1978 and is in large print format. I quite like the cover, it's certainly better than some I've seen!

Well done, Suzy. A great and unusual find.

I discovered a hb copy of Monica Dicken's 'The House at Worlds End' in my library's book sale this week. I paid just 20p for it!!!! Unfortunately no Follyfoot books.

Very nice cover and an excellent bargain Suzy! I LOVED the World's end books as a kid, could not get enough of them. More than Follyfoot books that had many darker themes in them. The hoof that was cut... Can't think of that without shivering still...

Hi Anne, ha what was that story about then

Anne · « **Reply #8 on:** May 21, 2010, 08:03:13 PM »

Not a pretty one: Callie was given a bloody hoof of a horse wrapped in paper, she was bullied at school.

So Monica's books were definitelly not just happy and light children's stories...

Was it Lewis the Louse who bullied her and gave her the horses hoof?

I've read it recently but have a terrible memory

Er..Yes.

Paul/Steve beat him up, didn't he?

And then got mowed down by the Louse's biker brother resulting in a broken leg for our knight in shining armour.

That's right Sue.... far too violent for the tv programme.

I don't know, Loopy, the fight between Steve and Johnny Clegg was quite fierce and bloody.
