The Things You Find When You Turn Out!
C’s father was a bit of a collector and I know she was rather annoyed when her mother threw away a lot of his things, when he died.
However, I’ve just been going through some of his old books, as I really don’t want to take them with me when I move.
There were a few gems.
First editions of Winnie the Pooh and Now We Are Six! They are in good condition, but sadly there is no dust jacket on either.
First editions of five Neville Shute books including Requiem for a Wren!
First editions of two Hornblower books.
I’m now searching the rest!
The Anonymous Widower 
They would be lovely things to keep for your granddaughter. But that is my problem, I have a house stuffed with things it is nice to keep for some reason. Including some very large furniture. I keep saying I will have a sort out. But I completely un-ruthless.
