Completely OT - British Children\'s Books
Hi all -
Could use some help from our British Contingent!
A while back, over on the VCA board, some were discussing a dress, floor length, dramatic-looking. Possibly chiffon sleeves and shoulder scarf . . . and someone remarked that it looked like something "Aunt Cloris? . . . Clovis? . . .Clotilde? . . . ???" would wear.
They were referring to a British children's book about a family (the Brakewaite's . . . . Braith . . .??? I truly can't remember!). One of the characters - the Aunt - was evidently quite a character . . . artsy? interesting? unpredictable?
It sounded like a good option for my two nieces, but since I can't remember the name of the family, the books or the author, it's a bit difficult to begin a search. :D
Can anyone help with this?
