Heading to New Year always meant a stack of annuals appearing in the book store. Each one boasting a bumper number of pages, thrills and spills.

Remembering back, how many of us wrote to Santa asking him to bring us an annual of our favorite show or book? So to revive that spirit we've created this section.

Looking through there are a number of British books, a lot are spinoffs from the story papers.

Woolworths make an appearance with their annual giveaways, complete with a bunch of seasonal toy advertisements. Which just illustrates, as the children's parents no doubt soon found out, "There's no such thing as a free lunch".

We have 21 titles and 160 issues in our 'Annual Category' for you to enjoy.
