Featured Book - Hector's House.

Do you remember the children's BBC series Hector's House.  It was a favourite of mine as a child, but then anything dog orientated was! Hector (and his friends Zaza the cat and Kiki the frog) had various exploits around Hector's House around 5.45 in the early evening in the late 1960's. We have a couple of books in stock adapted from the BBC series and with colour photographic stills of the characters which bring back those memories. They are 'Hector the Gardener' - (£10.00) and 'Hector the Musician' - (£12.00). Just like the programmes, they end with the phrase I'm a great big ------- old Hector.       Ah Memories!

If you want to order either of the Hector books, they are in the column on the right hand side under new arrivals.
