Books Update: Re-Working Our Children’s Books Category: Bessie Bunter, The Sword In The Stone and more
*Children’s Books: We’re continuing to introduce the new layout for our books categories, with an image for each book. This week, we return to our Children’s Books category to conclude our Re-Working exercise (including one new addition). Bessie Bunter At Cliff House School is the only novel of Billy’s sister written by Frank Richards (as Hilda Richards in this instance). although there are other Bessie novels under his name written by others). Terry’s Only Term by Ethel Talbot is a girls’ school story: two sisters, two schools, mystery and adventure. The Sword In The Stone by T H White (new in) is the first of his Arthurian novels published as a stand-alone: the boyhood of Arthur, the Once and Future King. From now on, all further listings in this category will be for books that are new in.
