When I was a small girl I was bought one by my uncle, I don't know where he got it from, but it is not dissimilar to yours. Years of younger brothers playing with it mean that the pieces aren't all there now, but I wouldn't part with it for the world. I still love it after all these years. As a little girl, there was something very special about playing with it - so I can understand the appeal for your girl too.Mummy Plumhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10746501465644149765noreply@blogger.com
