Miss Llewellyn-Jones spans the generations

I have always believed that a good story will appeal to any age group. Now we have the proof!

In 2009, one-year-old Naomi received an advance copy of Miss Llewellyn-Jones Goes to Town as a present for her very first Christ­mas. The book had not yet been released, but it was ded­i­cated to her so we felt she was enti­tled to spe­cial treat­ment. She loved the book to bits — lit­er­ally. Two years on, when that copy had fallen apart, she demanded another one. By then she was more aware of how to han­dle a book so the sec­ond copy, although just as well loved, is in bet­ter shape at this stage.

The other day Moira Court met an ‘older’ lady who had just bought a copy of the same book to give to her friend on her 91st birthday.

Many happy returns  - of the birth­day and the book.
