Reviews

[Phil Syphe · Rating 5 out of 5]

As a boy I had most if not all the Timbuctoo books. Sadly, I remember little about the stories now, despite reading them numerous times during my boyhood.

Reckon the last time I would’ve read these was 1983, though may have returned to them as late as 1985. Although I’ve forgotten almost everything about this title and all the others I feel that owing to the amount of times I read each publication that they all deserve to be rated five stars.

I’m grateful to Roger Hargreaves for brightening up my childhood with both his Timbuctoo and Mr Men series of books.
