Heather & Rose - the prickly pair (Judy Story Picture Library For Girls 223)

Following on from my review of a Judy annual lets review a picture story library book too. All of the popular comics especially from the DC Thomson stable produced these handy sized pamphlets back in the 70s and 80s, concentrating on just the one story. The one is about some girls from a Scottish children's home who go down to London to stay at a children's home there.

Everyone gets on great apart from two girls who fight continually and seem to hate each other. Oddly enough though when they play doubles in table tennis they blow everyone else away, its like they can read each other's thoughts.

Things come to a head when the two girls find they both have identical photographs of a woman who they think is their long-lost Mother. Are they sisters?

Its a great example of a British comic of the late 70s/early 80s. A bit twee perhaps but you get a picture of Classic Nouveaux on the back cover and if that isn't cool what is?
