Short Story

Post by Greenhills »

Looking for the name of a book with lots of short stories I read when about 8 in 1958. One story was a girl who kept finding money from a whole in her pocket, also the little girl who planted seeds only to keep pulling them up and she wondered why they did not grow!! Thank you

Could be A Picnic Party with Enid Blyton. Thirteen of those stories are then reproduced in the book Lashingsof has linked to.

A Hole in her Pocket is also reprinted in a couple of other books but not until 1962 onwards.
Originally the story came from Sunny Stories Magazine in 1946.
"It's the ash! It's falling!" yelled Julian, almost startling Dick out of his wits...
"Listen to its terrible groans and creaks!" yelled Julian, almost beside himself with impatience.
