As we did this time last year, we visited Clunes Booktown this past weekend, and here is what we found:- Eloise Wilkin's Mother Goose - This is by the same illustrator as Baby Dear, which is one of Galilee's favourite books at the moment.
- The Singing Tree by Kate Seredy - Our first purchase of the day. Kara loved it as a child.
- Selected Essays by G. K. Chesterton
- The Round Table (Essays on Literature, Men and Manners) by William Hazlitt
- Sailing the Wine-dark Sea: Why the Greeks Matter by Thomas Cahill - John really liked Cahill's How the Irish Saved Civilization, and was pleased to discover that he decided to make that volume one of a series on "the hinges of history".
- John Bunyan: The Tinker of Bedford by William Deal
- Pages of English Prose - This is a book from 1930, with some pages still uncut.
- Freddy Plays Football by Walter R. Brooks - Kara looks forward to reading another story about the Renaissance Pig. She was introduced to these books by her good friend, Tiffany.
- The Lost Continent: Travels in Small-town America by Bill Bryson
- The Wicked Day and The Hollow Hills by Mary Stewart - Kara has enjoyed mysteries by Stewart, and decided to have a look at her fantasy.
- The Little House and Katy and the Big Snow by Virginia Lee Burton - Some more of Kara's childhood favourites.
- Till I End My Song: A Gathering of Last Poems
- Locating Renaissance Art by Carol M. Richardson
- Jamie's America by Jamie Oliver - We were very happy to find this one, since the copy from our local library has gone missing.
- The West and the Map of the World by Matthew Richardson
