Amazing. The closest I got was _Dancing Peel_, and you'll have to imagine what kind of peel that was (apple?). (Of course it's not *really* the edible kind whatsoever!)<BR/><BR/>But it was all my Girl's Own sort of books, and while those have plenty of food *inside*, they don't tend toward food in the titles. Like nice girls not eating in the street, perhaps?<BR/><BR/>Well, all right, I do have _Cherry Tree Perch_, but again, that's the tree, not the food.<BR/><BR/>Helenhschinskehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10316478950862562594noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-446727280609751914.post-86920684199348867232008-05-16T21:27:00.000+01:002008-05-16T21:27:00.000+01:00is it just me or have people gone away from fruit ...is it just me or have people gone away from fruit with these comments??!
