Greetings--
I've searched extensively and learned lots about Jackanory (It sounds
delightful.) but have unable to identify your book.
I have emailed several sources who may be able to assist, and I shall
keep you informed of those results.
Meanwhile, I have compiled some Jacanory links that may interest you,
as well as derived a list of books that could possibly be yours but I
have been unable to confirm or eliminate. At any rate, they may bring
back some good memories.
Jackanory's many presenters read hundreds of stories, re-creating an
image of story time at home. Later the programme evolved and presented
plays for young children, under the name Jackanory Playhouse.
