Perhaps it's one of those books written for children that only adults appreciate? However ... when I was 12 and at a small private primary school, each Christmas we would put on a play and that year it was scenes from Little Women. I was Mrs March, or "Marmee" as I was called. We had no idea that we had to affect an American accent and I dread to think of the very proper English in which we spoke in the late 1950s! It might've sounded like Lionel Bart's Oliver as sung by Noel Coward!<br />Margaret P<br />PS I have the book and so it's about time I dug it out and read it! The only thing putting me of is that I'm searching for the edition I had as a child. That would be made easier if I knew who the publisher had been, but I've not one clue, only that I'd recognise the book if I saw it!galanthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14190356279359463949noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8163853508689473524.post-33061318490970878772011-07-02T13:43:35.423+01:002011-07-02T13:43:35.423+01:00So many good things for you all!
