Whee! Bunty! Bunty! I'm Canadian, but I was lucky enough to discover these in a library when I was living in Saudi Arabia for a while when I was eleven. The ex-pat compound's library basically consisted of whatever had been donated by patrons over the years, I think, but at some point some kindly Brit donated a big stack o' Bunty annuals. Between those and the complete Sherlock Holmes collection, I was kept entertained enough to ignore the heat stroke.
