This is..........

This week's this is....my collection.
My collection is vintage children's books, mainly Dr Suess, Golden Books and Enid Blyton (especially Secret Seven) but also other vintage books.



These are some of my favourites:
Dr Suess Dictionary in French (recently found in an op shop).


Never Talk to Strangers (another op shop find but very special because I had this book as a child)


A Letter to Amy (I won this as a prize in 1970, still going strong).

A letter to Amy !!!!!
When we moved house as a little kid that book moved with us - from cronulla Library I believe. Maybe that is why i am a librarian - to return that book . Must go and dig it out right now- I love it - thankyou !!!

Whoaahhh, I am drooling over your collection. I love the fact that I now have an excuse to re-read all these great old books. Thankfully, my kids seem to enjoy them as much as I do. I mean, who can resist such literary gems as 'Mr Brown can Moo, can you'?...

I love your collection of books. they are so great. I have a couple of older vintage books that I just love and I recently found a book that I had as a child at a garage sale so I had to pick it up. Gotta love those great finds.
Happy Sunday.
