LeahBergen That E. Nesbit has me intrigued! 2y

Centique @Jeg @batsy when I was a teenager Weldon was very popular so it seemed very grown up to read her! I read Puffball and The Heart of the Country back then but I‘m not sure I‘ve read any since. I will look up the one you mention @batsy it sounds good 😊 2y

Centique @LeahBergen and an introduction by Streatfeild 😍 2y

LeahBergen Ooo! I hope you love those Streatfeilds! 👏👏 2y

Centique @Rissreads I love those 1960s type of covers 😍 2y

Centique @batsy I had to be restrained, they had SO many 🤯 2y

Centique @ClairesReads if you come to Auckland Claire, it‘s at the top of Pitt Street. The man said he had an upstairs filled with vintage books he hadn‘t sorted yet - I will have to go back! 2y

Centique @LeahBergen I am sure I will 😍 2y

erzascarletbookgasm These covers are great! 2y

rockpools Oh my goodness! I have that very same edition of Apple Bough, bought as new, backalong. Awww. 🥰 2y

Centique @rockpools aww! The covers bring back such memories don‘t they? It‘s like time travel, how strongly the illustrations take me back! 2y

Second Hand Book + Comic store | Auckland, Auckland, New Zealand (Bookstore)

pick

I found such a cool bookshop today - stumbled upon it while getting my daughter a bag for University - it doesn‘t have a listing in the database but this is pretty close. It‘s named after the Elizabeth Goudge book @LeahBergen and it‘s got a great selection of vintage childrens books. Book haul to follow! #greendolphin #secondhandbooks

Ruthiella I read The Green Dolphin. 1/2 takes place in NZ, though Goudge had never been there. 2y

batsy It looks absolutely wonderful! Those vintage editions 💕 2y

LeahBergen Gahhhh! Look at all those beauties! 😮 2y

Centique @Ruthiella wow! I never knew that! Now I have to read it 💕 2y

Centique @batsy @LeahBergen so many! And I so rarely see these in NZ, I was amazed. 2y

rockpools Seriously! It looks like my childhood bookshelf transported itself through time and space, and wound up in NZ! (Kind of 😂😂 - but we owned a good few of those, in these editions!) 2y

rockpools THE PINBALLS! Random fact, if I remember right, they use mayonnaise in their cake-baking. Which always struck me as odd. 2y

Centique @rockpools there must be a wormhole in this shop! Yes, so much like my childhood bookshelves too. 😍 2y

Centique @rockpools I think I have a recipe somewhere that does that too! But I haven‘t read The Pinballs, I might go back and get it! 2y

rockpools @Centique Did you ever read Betsy Byars? She tended to write very ‘issues‘y stuff, so not a barrel of laughs - I think this was set in a children‘s home or the care system. But it definitely stuck! Down to remembering ridiculous details… (I‘m probably thinking of a totally different book now 🤔) 2y
