Children's Book Set plus Homemade Baked Treats

Discover treats from favorite childhood books!  Read through the books with your children and tuck into the treats together.  Your journey starts with:

A Little Princess by Frances Hodgson Burnett.  A pivotal part of the story is when Sara Crewe finds a fourpenny and buys newly baked currant buns.  Although hungry, Sara gives all but one away to another girl hungrier than herself and therefore shows herself to be a real princess.  The book will be accompanied by a dozen currant buns to enjoy.

A dozen 'rock cakes' comes with Secret Seven Win Through by Enid Blyton.  The sleuths always have food at their Secret Seven meetings and none is more welcome than a rock-bun or rock cake.

Missing from the Mary Poppins movie is an encounter with Mrs. Corry who sells gingerbread in a shabby shop.  Read about their meeting in P.L. Traver's book while you savor your own gingerbread.

Next is Pippi Longstocking (by Astrid Lindgren) and her heart-shaped Swedish Ginger Snaps.  Enjoy her enthusiastic and unorthodox baking style while munching on these cookies.

The final book is Roald Dahl's Matilda delivered with Bruce Bogtrotter's Heroic Chocolate Cake.  In the story, Bruce's punishment for stealing slices of cake from his overbearing teacher is to eat a huge cake in front of the school.  He rises to the challenge.  Can you?
