The Fabulous Miss Flimp

This is primarily a story of a life history of a person who loves to dress up in fashionable clothes. The black and white illustrations while simple are expertly executed by a well known artist. They have been drawn so that if you have a tablet then they can be used to be coloured in by aspiring young children. The story might be about anyone who loves fashion and dancing and has lived through the twentieth century. Part of the Miss Flimp series of stories, it is written by Zoe Ainsworth Grigg who started writing stories for her grandchildren. She has ten grandchildren altogether. This current offering is to teach a little of how women changed throughout the years and how fashion changed and evolved. It shows how as you get older you might want to become more serious and learn about new things. There is always an element of using technology in Zoe’s books and this one is no exception. The book suggests to children to use the internet to look up useful things for the purpose of researching and learning and doing homework. Age range 5-12 years.
