Where to find the original stories

There were over 40 Simple Stories published in Punch. The Series ran from 1926 to 1934. The author was Archibald Marshall and the illustrator George Morrow. The  original stories from which my episodes of Willoughby Drive are partly drawn can be found in Punch 1926, 1927 and 1928. The stories were also published  in two books called Simple Stories and Simple People.

The Simple Stories series of Punch started with The Robber on 18th August 1926.
