Year Round Things to Do

First issued in the 1960s as a household book of occupations for children, this volume is arranged by the months of the northern year. It offers things to make and do indoors and out: crafts, games, simple cooking, garden and nature tasks, and seasonal celebrations, explained in words and diagrams. The tone is practical; there is no story and no single child hero. Septima is a collective pen-name for the compilers. The book is a month-by-month activity manual, not a novel, not a school course, and not a picture book without instructions.

Bound in off-white paper printed with a colour design. Issued with no slipcase or dust-jacket.
