*Children’s Books: One of the most evocative children’s authors, Monica Edwards wrote her children’s novels between 1947-1969 and produced just over a novel per year, so there is a substantial body of work, divided between two series: Romney Marsh (Kent/East Sussex) and Punchbowl Farm (Surrey). Children’s adventures in nostalgic settings with a lot of horsey themes, these are superbly crafted gems which appeal to women of a Certain Age (those I know are fervently passionate about them). Not the easiest author to collect (they are rare and highly prized), but those so inclined will find tracking them down most rewarding. This week we’re adding a pair of Armada 1960s paperback versions of her novels from the Romney Marsh series; the Nightbird concerns fish poaching and a ghost ship; No Entry is about a foot and mouth outbreak as the Romney Marsh friends attempt to protect Castle Farm’s sheep herd. As usual, condition notes are shown in our catalogue.
