I picked up three TBSL books yesterday from the local Hospice shop which specialises in books and antiques.
The Empire Annual for New Zealand Girls seems to be from 1910 from what I've seen online,
Judy Sees it Through by Doris A. Pocock which seems to be a 1920s reprint, and
The Jolliest Term on Record by Angela Brazil which has an inscription from 1923.
Has anyone else picked up anything recently?

Oh, those are lovely! I'm a bit envious. I haven't had the opportunity to browse markets or used book stores for ages.

>3 keristars: I hadn't been in there for quite a while, then I stopped in on the spur of the moment and found these at the back of the shop. They seem to have a habit of hiding books in various places round the shop, I even found a few hidden inside an antique desk once!

What lovely finds! I have a few Angela Brazil books in those editions with the printed boards, they look so good.
My only recent TBSL find is this, from the early 1960s. It's a good read, with a bit more psychological depth in the main character than a lot of similar books.

>6 Sakerfalcon: That seems interesting! I do have a book by Marjorie Bevan, but I haven't read it yet.
