A handful of books from my shelves

Here are three with lovely covers that I’ve picked up in op shops.

The lettering is poor on this one, but otherwise it is so sweet. I love the simple charcoal with colour overlay.

This is my copy of The Arabian Nights illustrated by Pauline Baynes of Narnia fame (along with much other beautiful work)

And this rather sumptuous 1965 copy of Ernest Hemingway’s The Old Man and the Sea.

Great video line up for World Book Day. Take in some video inspiration from some of the big names.

World Book Day celebrations – big name kids’ authors share via video.

This has got to be good! I haven’t watched any of these videos yet, but how fantastic! Some of my favourite childrens’ authors and illustrators sharing knowledge on a range of topics. Aimed at kids… I think. I’ll watch some tonight. Busy, busy.
