  1. Enid Blyton wrote a children’s story about never running short of food because of having a magic pot that always had porridge bubbling ready to eat; Winston P has a magic grey bag that’s like Dr Who’s Tardis; inside it’s a cornycopia.

    1. Yep reading real stories about people getting on in the real world is seen as scary, but disney eyelashes. barbie and JonBenet Ramsay are OK. I like Cynthia Voigt’s Homecoming Tillerman series. A mother burdened by poverty bringing up four children well, loses her supermarket trolley job, has mental breakdown, disappears. The oldest 11, then 10, 7, 4, decide to walk to a relation hundred kms away rather than be split up by Welfare. They surmount problems together OK. Now that’s all right for 11 up – what do they get – ninja, pretty princesses!
