Lucky find

I was just putting away the books I bought at the fete last week when I found this real treasure.

The book jacket was ripped and stained and I thought the rest of the book was too. On the day I remember thinking that the illustrations were so great, I would just frame any of the undamaged pages. Then this morning I discovered, that it is only the jacket that is in disrepair. The book itself is in excellent condition.

It's called "Tobi" and it is a delightful story about a cat up a tree. I love it!







I even love the endpapers.



And did I mention it cost only 20 cents!

Enid Blyton

"The Folk of the Faraway Tree" was the only Enid Bylton book I ever read as a child. I read and re-read it. I loved it. My well thumbed 1980's paperback is on our bookshelf along with the one above and two other copies. I really love the colourful illustrations throughout this one. Perfect for reading to smaller children.

I scanned a couple of the books I brought home from Mr Moo's parents this week. Such vibrant colours. I found another one hiding at the bottom of the box. All of the covers were illustrated by different people. I think they are just great.







On a totally unrelated subject. Do you think that 25 degrees is can be classed as winter? I don't think so.

It is 4:30pm and I am sweltering in jeans and a t-shirt right now.
