*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 with three very different volumes: Kemlo and the Martian Ghosts is a juvenile science fiction adventure from 1959 by E C Eliott; The Player’s Boy is a rare first edition hardcover with DJ by Antonia Forest, celebrated children’s author for her stories of the contemporary Marlow family, this volume being about their ancestors set in the age of Elizabethan theatre; the Pomegranate Seeds by Nathaniel Hawthorne is a rare, slender volume featuring two of his stories from The Wonder Book for Girls & Boys and Tanglewood Tales.
