just like the original (0/1 people found this helpful)
I was a bit septic about buying a facsimile but everything was respected and I was very pleased with my purchase.
I think it is a very good idea to bring back the old stories and recommend all the Rupert Bear fans to start collecting the annuals again!
Even for a foreigner this book is enchanting (2/2 people found this helpful)
I am french and since I was little, my "semi english" grandma bought me the annual Rupert Bear books. I'm so pleased to have found this facsimile of 1957 which I can add to my "Rupert Bear armoire".
Hope you understand my English... but i would really suggest you buy this book. It's adorable!
Brilliant Book! (0/0 people found this helpful)

I've seen on amazon that the Rupert Bear Annual 1958 will be published soon, I can't wait to order it!!!!
Definetly recomend you buy this annual asap!
Brilliant Bestall (5/5 people found this helpful)
The latest facsimile from the golden days of Alfred Bestall and a welcome addition to my collection. More wonderful stories, all beautifully illustrated. Shame the 1956 annual has been missed out as it is one of my favourites (I have an original very old and battered copy). Sadly, thanks to the PC brigade my facsimile collection will now be incomplete. Surely we should be allowed to decide for ourselves whether the material is offensive or not! Having said that, I look forward to more annuals in this series. I sincerely hope the 1958 annual is not withheld, as this edition contains the famous Frog Song endpapers.
Superb Nostalgia (4/4 people found this helpful)
Yet more excellence from Express Newspapers, they are really excelling themselves recently on the publishing front !
A fantastically faithful reproduction of the 1957 Annual, not the 1956 Annual, this was apparently not published because of 'politically incorrect' material. Shame that the avid supporters of this little bear will not be able to see these books in a proper chronological order, but such is life.
The characters are all here, the adventures never fail to make you smile (if not at least at the naivety of some of the scenarios that our little hero is placed) and of course the art is the traditional Bestall brilliance.
Let us hope that this kind of quality is allowed to continue for a good many years to come.
