I see you have kitten who couldn't get down. Do you know anything about the author, Helen Piers? Such as what country she is from, living or dead, etc. I can't find anything on her at all except book lists. Thanks

Tiger Skin Rug back in print! That is really good to hear! I am so glad that one of the neglected classics of children's literature is getting some recognition. And I might still be one copy short for my kids' "need" of the book. I sold a copy of one of Gerald Rose's books "Tim's Marrow" to - Tim! Rose's nephew, several years ago and he told me that his uncle had written another book, Tiger Dreams, about a real tiger that swam from the mainland to Hong Kong when the Roses were interned in a Japanese prison camp during WWII. It was also absolutely excellent and became one of my grandchildren's favourite books (even at toddler ages - it's the rare book that appeals to 2 as well as 52).

Off to check who has Tiger Skin Rug, and look it up at Book Depository... Thanks so much.

By the way, I loved The Girl in the Painted Caravan. Thanks for the recommendation.

The Girl in the Painted Caravan? Memoir? Romany? Teazle gives it 5 stars? That is so going onto my wishlist NOW. :)

I hope all is well with you. We are having an extended winter, but otherwise fine.

Hey

I sent a message to elliepotten yesterday with our proposal and she gratefully accepts! I said she should speak to you about what the books are though. I said I'd let her know what saturday we'd be coming so she's going to clear space in the office for the books. She seems very excited, if a little nervous!
