My mom is British (she was a war bride from WWII) and we had all the original Noddy books. The newer ones aren't the same. When my first granddaughter came along in 2008, my daughter tried to buy a bunch of the older books on ebay, but, for some reason, people in the UK don't want to ship to the US.
The fabric swatches you displayed look like the "new" Noddy. They are pretty darn cute though. Will we be able to get them in the US?
