This book was one of my favourite when I was a child 🥰
It belonged to my parents first, so I'm very fond to it ☺
I truly love Andersen's works (most of them), plus the illustrations are wonderful!

Day 6 #riotgrams - Music For Chameleons by #TrumanCapote is my choice for #shortstories - this little #book is always by my bed. My favorite story is the last one, Nocturnal Turnings. It‘s out of body, very weird. One of my favorite authors. ❤️📚 #fiction #nonfiction #stories #oldbook #reading

I visited the cutest little antique store when I was down in Denmark and I bought myself this copy of Jo's Boys 😊 It didn't cost much, but I love the wear and tear of older books!

Whoops I forgot to show off my latest parcel from Bookishly. Was super happy to get a nobel prize winning novel. Loved the travel inspired stationary. #bookphoto #bookishly #penigun #classic #bookmail #tea #stationary #oldbook #girlswhoread
Found this old #medical #thriller in the depths of my #bookshelf. It sounds pretty #creepy. But I don't think it was hugely successful, I looked up #author #sidneyspies but all I found was an actress by same name 🤔 #book #booksagram #reading #oldbook #vacanteyes
Found this weird little book in the basement. Called Florus Germanicus, written entirely in latin and there appears to be an inscription that says ex libris [can't make out] 1797 and the crossed out section may have the year 1647. I am trying to research the book but is there really a possibility of this being that old?! Pic wih quarter included for size reference. Also cover feels like hide? Anyone have any insight? #whatisthis #oldbook
The smell of an old book has more stories to tell than the one in its fold. •
