![]() I’ve had the whole set since I was about 14 – but a couple of them didn’t match (smaller size! Different cover style!) and thanks to the wonders of eBay I got the “missing” matching books last year and was finally able to put them in order without the fretting over the fact that they didn’t look right! As you can see they’re all very well-loved – except Drina, Ballerina, one of the new additions, but I can assure you that my old copy is practically falling apart further down the shelf. Several of the others in the series have inscriptions in them marking them as being holiday books from various trips around the south coast. ![]() ![]() In the front she wrote that it was one of her favourite books when she was little – and I loved it as well from the moment I first read it and wanted the rest of the books in the series. She gave me Ballet for Drina in June 1991 – when I was seven – to read while she was in hospital for an operation. I know exactly when I got my first Drina book – because when my mum gives people books, she always writes a message in them. ![]() It took 20 years – but I finally have a matching set ![]()
