Now that would be an interesting <i>mashup</i>.<br /><br />What appeals to me is the sense of quietness - a world without the noise of traffic or television. It all seems very idyllic. <br /><br />I wonder how many Victorian children experienced a childhood that remotely resembled the world portrayed in these pictures?Steerforthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07627936539372313828noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32570460.post-15407036031999640062010-08-26T07:57:19.786+00:002010-08-26T07:57:19.786+00:00I want that book!

Maybe so, but I find points of contact from my own middle-class, 1960's childhood: being pressed into the role of Father by my older sister playing house, (plate 2), singing with her for my parents. (plate 7), being left to entertain ourselves outdoors on our own.<br /><br />Is childhood at all like this anymore?Bretthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09389916070547430075noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32570460.post-12070350908880694702010-08-24T23:17:21.868+00:002010-08-24T23:17:21.868+00:00simply charmingsimply charmingsukipoethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09351851210507048174noreply@blogger.com
