General   (General discussion, talk about anything.)

Pleasure Anne , it's cover price in 1943 was 3 shillings and sixpence , which would probably not have been cheap four years into the war ! The stories and full colour illustrations by Alfred Bestall are fabulous ! You are quite correct , Christmas was not complete without a Rupert Annual on Christmas Morning and I proudly hold the complete set from 1935. Out of interest , the 1943 Annual sold over 600,000 copies that year !
