Ripping Things to Do

Legendary creator of the Yarnstorm blog, Jane Brocket, has come up with another fabulous trip down memory lane, with the fantastic idea of reminding us of games and activities that were the favourites of children's literary characters. There are recipes such as the Toad In The Hole enjoyed in Roald Dahl's Danny The Champion Of The World, and activities showing us the joys of using fabric scraps and making paper dolls with Milly Molly Mandy. Add to this Ripping Things To Do With Jam Jars, Making Paper Chains, Ideas For Curious Collections, Suggestions For Studying The Stars, Codes And Secret Messages, Playing Croquet Like Alice, and many, many more ideas, and you have a wealth of entertainment for young and old alike, and a book that will be treasured forever. Like Jane Brocket's first book The Gentle Art of Domesticity and her second Cherry Cake and Ginger Beer this one is an inspiration and a delight.
