Theatre Superstitions

Theatre superstitions (the one about the Ghost Light is just weird)

Katy Kopycat

Katy Kopycat was toy of the year in 1971 but until I read Schotts Almanac 2006 I had never heard of it. Basically it was a doll that copied your writing, there is very little about her on the Internet (nothing on ebay or wikipedia) and yet she sold loads? How can something so very popular be so forgotten?

Sodor

The wonderful island of Sodor, home of Thomas the tank engine and his mates! Invented by the Rev Awdry to cheer up his son after a dose of measles.
