About the author
W. Murray
190 books16 followersWilliam Murray was an educational adviser at a borstal and later headmaster of a "school for the educationally subnormal" in Cheltenham. From research undertaken in the 1950s by Murray with Professor Joe McNally, an educational psychologist at Manchester University, Murray realised that only 12 words account for ¼, 100 words account for ½, and 300 words account for ¾ of the words used in normal speaking, reading and writing in the English language.
He developed 'The Key Words Reading Scheme,' a series of 36 English language early readers children's books, published by the British publishing company, Ladybird Books.

I have the 1972 edition in my Ladybird collection.
Although this book is somewhat dated, I think my granddaughter will love it in about another six months or a year, with its vivacious pictures and its clarity of text.
As Enid Blyton books demonstrate, what goes out of fashion with the grownups can enduringly appeal to those it was written for!
