*Childrens’ Books: We’re continuing to introduce the new layout for our books categories, with an image for each book. This week, we turn to our Childrens’ Books category, which now has the new layout down to ‘Blyton’. The works of Enid Blyton understandably dominate, with a plethora of dust-jacketed hardcovers of her various series, all with highly evocative cover art, particularly by Eileen Soper on the Famous Five, but there are a few other gems as well, such as Joan Aiken’s Welsh mythology fantasy The Whispering Mountain. Full details as always in our catalogue.
