DESCRIPTION
An illustrated collection of stories, games, and articles.
With the very scarce counters, dice-top and cut out goal keeper. Lacking the small green counter.
This work has three in-text games, being Express Golf Course, The Cup Tie: Thrilling Football Game and The Test Match: Jolly Cricket Match. These games all use the counters and/or dice top. There is also a maze, which remains in a clean condition and a selection of party games listed with explanations. To page 94 there is a selection of jokes and riddles.
In addition to the Games Section, this annual contains many adventure stories and a small factual section for educating children on remedies to common injuries.
A lovely example of a 1930s childrens annual.
