In 1968 when I was teaching 4th grade in Ann Arbor, Michigan, a read a book to my students that I think had been recently published and they loved it. I do not remember the title. It was a book about the adventures of the toy soldiers that Emily, Charlotte, and Bramwell Bronte had and wrote about in the imaginary country of Angria. The author took their stories and compiled them into a larger book. I thought maybe the author’s last name was Clark but I cannot find any thing under that name. Finding good books for good students aged 10-12, particularly boys, at that time was difficult and this book they loved.
Thank you for any help you can give me.
Stump the Bookseller
New format, same book stumper solving.
This might be Pauline Clarke: The Return of the Twelves.
The Return of the Twelves, by Pauline Clarke.
This must be The Return of the Twelves by Pauline Clarke.
OMG I read this book as a child and loved it! thanks for this, I will try to find it and reread it
I was going to say ‘The Twelve and the Genii’ by Pauline Clarke, which i think was the UK title of the same book.
