The What Do You Know Stories simply grew from Leila’s own kids (then about 3 and 7) asking questions and their journalism-trained mother answering them.Leila drew on writing and information from Sir J Arthur Thompson, Professor J B S Haldane, and “Mr Leaky”. The Jungle Book and other wildlife and nature stories (and expeditions on the Heath) were also popular in the family, and brought more questions, which Leila always encouraged. She loved being able to answer them – and to then write it all down as stories. Our book is photographed for you to see and it is in good condition for its age. No dust jacket.
