Book 5 NANNA STRAWBERRY TELLS STORIES TO SOPHIE
...and meets her baby sister
Book 5 is lighthearted fun between Sophie and her Nanna Strawberry.
Giggly Sophie declines to hear the stories offered because she
'does not like wolves' 'witches' 'giants' .'porridge' or 'spiders'.
The readers will have to guess which stories they belong to.
Sophie does love Boy though, her much loved rag rabbit which
goes everywhere with her. She loves Baby Sister best and calls
her 'Livvy' because she cannot say Olivia. Sophie is pleased that
she is Big Sister and her hands are bigger than Baby Sister's hands.
Sophie does enjoy hearing all about herself though.
'Once upon a time there was a little girl called Sophie'
That was a nice story about nice times..
Then Mummy suggests they all go a walk to the lake.
She pushes Olivia in her pram, with Nessie on her lead,
Sophie pushes dolly and B oy in dolly's pram, Nanna
walks behind holding Sophie's safety lead.while by the lake.
Livvy, Boy and Nanna Strawberry are great names given by Sophie.
BOOK 6 NANNA STRAWBERRY REMEMBERS THE YOUNG QUEEN
... and schooldays
Most of the story in Book 6 is from the author's 1952 diary in which
Audrey recorded the momentous events at that sad time. Her
shorthand class had to stand to attention when a teacher brought
the news that King George VI had died early that morning. The new
Queen was rushing home from Kenya where she had been representing
her father when learning of his death. She was only 25, just 9 years
older than schoolgirl Audrey. Two days later Elizabeth is proclaimed
Queen by countless Town Crier's throughout Britain and beyond, to
herald the start of the new reign. Sixty six years later, the Queen is 91 and
Audrey is 82, named 'Nanna Strawberry' by her first great grandchild
because Sophie could not say Audrey. 2018 marks the 65th anniversary
of the young Queen's Coronation on 2nd June 1953.
