I'd not heard of the book, but I can, however, shed some light on the background of the character; Bunchy is obviously a spin-off book from the Milly Molly Mandy series. We first meet Bunchy while shopping for new dress fabric with her grandmother. I seem to remember that Bunchy's name comes from the fact that she always has bunches of flowers on her dresses.<br />As a child I loved the Milly Molly Mandy books, for both the stories and the illustrations, and have kept them all these years. I may invest in a copy of 'Bunchy' now too! You can't beat a good old fashioned bit of politically uncorrect naivety in a children's story book!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10811336076681620742noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25473451.post-8614978402062049612011-03-12T11:19:58.844-05:002011-03-12T11:19:58.844-05:00Oh how I loved the Bunchy stories when I was a chi...Oh how I loved the Bunchy stories when I was a child, having a vivid imagination myself, they really appealed to me. Like all things from the past, it does sound pretty sordid these days, but you have to love them. MarieAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
