Now they have been brought up to date with new illustrations and a new-look design to charm readers aged 8-12 - but inside are the same classic and timeless tales that entertained and inspired their mothers and grandmothers. The 'Worrals' books were immensely popular in the 1940s and 1950s - but have been out of print for years. Worrals has the mix of courage, ability and acerbic wit needed to outface the Brass Hats - and win friends amongst readers young and old alike.
