While we were all together at Mum’s yesterday we spoke about the new Peter Rabbit film and were then prompted to remember how we would listen to the stories when we were unwell and had to stay in bed.
The stories were recorded onto a large reel to reel tape recorder placed by the bed.
We played the record on the radiogram, still a great sound and narrated by none other than Vivien Leigh!
Other treasures unearthed included early versions of the railway stories, narrated by a youthful Johnny Morris..
And a record of the Ovaltine Theme!
Sparks’s Magic Piano..
And some songs - most of which we found that we knew by heart (always wondered exactly where and when I had learned the words to ‘Davy Crockett, King of the Wild Frontier’)!
