This is a bit stupid but can anyone remember these children's books and perhaps tell me the names of them?

I had a series of books which I think may have been written by a well known author but my mum thinks that she bought them for like £1 in Woolworths (which would mean that no one would be able to help me probably!).





I can remember two of the stories:


1) A boy goes in the woods and finds a little house. He goes in, finds a pair of red shoes and puts them on. But he puts them on his hands or something and the shoes make him walk for miles on his hands because they have a spell on them. It turns out that they were a dwarf’s and he tells the boy that he should never take anyone’s things.


2) A boy loses his kitten, he’s sad so he goes looking for it in the woods and he finds some fairies and tells them what’s happened. The fairies make all the cotton buds from a cotton plant come alive into furry little kittens and the boy finds his kitten.





My memory is a bit off but I’d appreciate it if you could tell me the name of the books or the author. Or just tell me if any of this rings a bell, at least I’ll know it wasn’t just me who read them lol.


There was another book that wasn’t part of the series but it was about a boy and a girl who would go out to play near the woods (it’s all about the woods lol) and they’d see a big white creature hiding behind the trees. They become friends with it or something – any ideas? The girl had a blue and white dress and blond hair.

This sounds like the Enid Blyton collection, %26#039;The Tower in HoHo Wood%26#039;. This rings a bell with me!
Reply:Suggest you put some of this information into a search box at the following link, after you read the list of books already there to see if any fit what you%26#039;re looking for:

If this site doesn%26#039;t suit you, suggest calling the reference librarian at a public library, in the children%26#039;s section, and ask there. Those people are trained, have search tools, and know their books.
