Question for our UK and Commonwealth members

[jknaus]

I grew up reading Rupert Bear books my Mum got at Marks and Spencers. Are these books still available? I looked on Amazon.ca but the costs are down right expensive for a used copy and new ones dont seem to exist. If they are still available in the UK or down in Australia or NZ could someone see if the sellers do mail order? I'd like to introduce the books to my Grand Kids.

I think he is still i the daily express newspaper, i dont read newspapers but i remember him as a kid in the 1960's, there would be a couple of pictures and a story but i seem to remember it was on Sundays ? the paper then published all the stories each year in a book that we all got at Christmas. I read somewhere a lot of the stories dont pass the political correct band wagon today :-( ..what a sad world we live in.

Yes things have changed. I got a volume of best loved stories by Rudyard Kipling for my Grand Daughter and it had some words that are triggers today. I told my Daughter the same thing my Mum told me, its not a nice word and came from a different time. Its not to be used and this is why..... That was 50 odd years ago. Now its a good reason to cancel Rudyard Kipling from history. Still the stories had good life values to teach.
