Dear Woodsy,
Since it's still technically Christmas, I thought you'd like the attached - I got this old SF mag in a second-hand bookshop, and it's so evocative of the "reveries of reclusive boys and hopes of the handful of men" that the "Dreams of Space" guy spoke of!

What a cool rocket toy that Kid has got! Could even be Task Force 1! Wonder whats in the other presents?
ReplyDeleteWell, he has the rocket, a baseball bat and a football (American style). I reckon he's the outdoors type mostly.
ReplyDeleteThe little green package with yellow and red ribbon is a compass. Not a cheap dimestore compass, but a proper wayfinding compass.
The red-white stripy gift is a pair of hiking boots.
Not certain ... but I suspect the white-with-green-holly-leaves one holds one of the Marx space playsets. Not sure which set though.
The large white package is anyone's guess. Hard to tell from here.
The small white one is a box of Archer spacemen.
The mid-size white wrapped one is going to shock him though ... it's a Barbie doll.
