hey Richard, love your blog! That's a fab post about the world of tomorrow. That Scarmble Bug is just great - love it every time I see it. Your'e right about the Last Two Million Years too - it's a brilliant book but very heavy. I savoured every page as a kid particularly the chapter on Japan.
Yeah, that Early Man book was a good one. The one from that series that really blew my mind was, predictably, the volume on The Universe.
ReplyDeleteI never heard of The Last Two Million Years before but it looks highly appealing.
If you'll forgive the self-promotion, a while back I did a post on a favorite childhood book and will stand by what it says.
Feel better soon!
