Short story book
Short story book
My dad used to read to me from an Enid blyton book of short stories (late sixties / early seventies and I’m trying to find the book so I can perhaps get a copy online. I can remember two stories vividly from it. One was about a naughty toy train bridge. It would move so that the toy passengers on the train would fall out and get injured. In the end as punishment it was given to a girl who turned it upside down and used it as a dolly’s cradle ! The other was about someone with large feet who had been told a sixpence or a coin had been dropped and they walked up and down a path looking for it and in doing so helped flatten the path ! Would anybody know what this book would have been. Thanks for any suggestions

No worries. I loved that book as a child and still do. Two of my favourite stories were/are '"I Don't Want To!"' and 'You Simply Never Know!'
