I was looking for a series of books I read in elementary school during the mid-60’s about a young boy growing up in Australia. One book in particular dealt with celebrating Christmas at the beach and having a pudding with coins mixed in as prizes.
This book I read in the 1980’s at my school library (small primary school, under 30 kids) in a very tiny town in country NSW Australia.
All I remember is that it involved a girl and boy set in England?. I think he was infatuated with her.. either he kidnapped or she went with him willingly and he took her to the moors and there was a cave there. He made her do a blood pact to tie them together. I am pretty sure he had dark hair. Thats all I remember!
I am looking for and requesting a children’s book that my fourth-grade teacher read to us in 1974 about a witch pretending to be a girl. She goes to school with a girl and pulls the school fire alarm.
It’s a chapter book most likely from the 80s or earlier where old-fashioned probably Victorian style dolls live in a toy store and have tea parties where they eat and drink air. A girl buys them and leaves them on a park bench. There may be more to the story after that but I don’t remember.
