Children's Literature
Some of the greatest works in literature were originally meant for children. From Treasure Island to Through The Looking Glass, these books have hidden depths. Then there is Tolkein and CS Lewis, not to mention Arthur Ransome and AA Milne, all of whom stand as tall as any works of literature for adults.
We try to keep all the greats in stock. If we haven't got what you are looking for then the chances are we might have soon. So please do get in touch with anything you are looking for. Of course if you have any questions about any of the books we have in stock, please also feel free to ask any questions. Though these books are for Children, collecting them is a serious business and issue points etc can have a large effect on values. As with all our books we are always very happy to answer questions on everything we have here.
