Johnny Tigerskin by Ursula Moray Williams Vintage Puffin Children's Book 1969

If you want a change from witches and wizards, fairies or slimy monsters this endearing and funny little children's book about a slightly moth-eared old Tigerskin Rug that the children learn to love and the unexpected adventures that ensue.

It is an atmospheric story that fully evokes the lifestyle and christmas's of the 1960's and a world that is different to today's.

Children use strange things like Tape Recorders a gadget that would be unheard of to your children.

Equally nobody would be likely to have a Tigerskin rug in their home now, however old!

That doesn't matter the story is thrilling and heartwarming for children and teaches values of loyalty and friendship and not judging people too hastily.

Ursula Moray Williams 1911 - 2006 wrote around seventy delightful children's books. Her most well known is probably Gobbolino the Witch's Cat and Adventures of the Brave Little Wooden Horse that she wrote whilst she was pregnant expecting her first child.

Fortunately she was friends with Puffin Editor Kaye Webb a serendipity which undoubtedly gave her a foot up the ladder to being recognised as an author and publication of her books.

She worked with famous illustrators such as Shirley Hughes, Faith Jaques and Edward Ardizzone. Her books soon proved themselves to be Children's Classics.

In her personal life she was a devout Christian, the values of love, kindness and friendship shine through her books. Far from boring she was also famed for her lively parties and fun sense of humour.
