Gumdrop fans will welcome the opportunity to buy and read for themselves one or more of the Gumdrop 'Little Books'. Each contains a short well-crafted and illustrated story about the famous vintage car. In these two we see first a thoroughly sick Gumdrop having to spend a few days in the car hospital before being restored to his old self: and then, just why Mr Oldcastle prefers his sturdy old-fashioned Gumdrop to new or small, or even sports car. At 60p each these are very good value.
