On the omnibus

Daily writing prompt
Do you remember your favorite book from childhood?

I had to wait until I got home from work to answer this prompt so that I could pull it off the shelf and take a picture of it.

And here she is!

I remember being so confused by the word ‘omnibus’. Still am. What the heck does that even mean? Oh wait, okay I googled it, makes perfect sense.

This book is a collection of (I think) highly unpopular children’s stories. My favourite was Ned of the Toddin, a story about a cat. Second runner up would be The Three Billy Goats Gruff.

Oh the memories. My two sisters and I would pile around our Dad on my older sister’s bed and he would read us a bedtime story. He was such an amazing Dad.

  2. How cool to own a treasure from youth. All I have are a few snapshots but an actual thing would be really cool. I suppose the best I can do is i do have a coffee table and end table that I grew up with (both could be circa 1950’s or 1960’s).
