 Next Fair, The Guildhall Cambridge  17th & 18th February 2012

 If you want us to bring particular books to view at fairs, please let us know in good time.

**Please note Our 'Browse by Category' Section became too large, inaccurate and unwieldy. I am currently trying to sort it out, a bigger job than I thought! Having taken the first step, it has exposed quite a few books that somehow our uploads of 'sold' stock failed to remove, leaving some sold books showing as still for sale (Once you start these jobs, other things turn up). I am currently working my way through these to get them removed, before I continue getting the categories put back. Sorry for delay and thank you for your patience. Heather

Featured Book - Presently for sale here at £10.00

The  Snowflake by Paul Gallico -  a book to captivate the host of readers who have been touched by the magic of The Snow Goose and The Small Miracle - a story in the tradition of those 2 lovely books, told with the delicacy of touch and freshness of imagination which has endeared Paul Gallico to so wide a public. The story follows the birth of the snowflake above a mountain village and follows her career in deep snows, streams, rivers, lakes through countryside and cities to the sea, when she is once more drawn up by the heat of the sun into the clouds from which she was born -   for adults & children alike.

We have 1 copy - a 1st edition in dustwrapper as shown above - and as they say - when it's gone its gone! To order just search under title, and follow order instructions and Snowflake can be yours for £10.00 plus P&P.
