Not sure if this set contains any hard to get hold of stories, or has most of the short stories contained in the three newer paperback Christmas book collections?

I've got that set and it contains six stories - 'Grandpa Twinkle', 'The Old Red Stocking', 'The Christmas Mouse', 'The Lost Presents', 'The Little Fir-Tree' and 'A Surprise on Christmas Eve'. The stories are very short and I'm not sure whether they're exactly as Enid Blyton wrote them but it's a nice little box of books.

Ah, that brings back happy memories. My children had that set and I read the stories to them many times. It's still in the house somewhere - I wonder if they'd like to 'donate' it to my collection.

I have that set too. I think it used to be for sale in Poundland when I bought mine! As far as I can remember they're 'board books' with about six pages each.

hearts mad delight,
Sing on, sing on, and when the sun is gone
I'll warm me with your echoes
