History of the world books, alas not really my cuppa tea but something my dad picked up at a flea market for 10 cents a book 40 years ago and somehow I ended up with them. :)Pat Holletthttp://patriciahollett.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-718443688295849666.post-81144323155153812882011-04-15T19:33:54.265+01:002011-04-15T19:33:54.265+01:00OK, the oldest one in my current collection is The...OK, the oldest one in my current collection is The Wombles by Elizabeth Beresford.

It's still one of my favorites. The spine is so worn it automatically opens to all the "good parts." ;)Amelia Jameshttp://tellmeyoulikeme.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.com
