hammock monkey said:i kind of shows that kids of our era grew up in a way that isnt too dissimilar to that of our ancestors - even pre-bronze age.
i.e basically out in the woods making toy weapons, bows and arrows, tracking, foraging, constructing camps etc...in practice for later years.

Yeah! I remember that one - Famous Five or something.John Fenna said:Oh heck - confession time!
For me it was Enid Blyton....in one of her books (dunno the title) some kiddies run away from wicked step parent to live on an island in a lake. They build a hut from green willow and it continues to grow, so they weave the new shoots into the walls for extra strength. The grass is full of wild thyme, food abounds - rabbit, fish etc. - and is easy to catch!
