*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 update features both the first Punchbowl Farm (No Mistaking Corker) and the first Romney Marsh (Wish For A Pony) adventures in 1960s Hardcover editions illustrated by Anne Bullen. More information, including condition notes, may as always be found in our catalogue.
