02/November/2006:
There is a new edition to our Special Publications Family in the shape of Elinor M Brent-Dyer's Collected Verse, see below for more information, and the prices of other publications have been reduced too.
CHILDREN'S SERIES FICTION is now 4.00 GBP as is THE BOOK OF DAYS while the CHALET CHARACTERS A-Z is now 2.00 GBP. However we now have under 20 copies of the A-Z left so it is strictly a first come first served basis.
Please note that the prices above do not include postage costs where applicable.
ELINOR M BRENT-DYER'S COLLECTED VERSE ![]()
Few people knew until recently that four notebooks of unpublished verse existed, dating from Brent-Dyer's student days in the 1910s through to the mid-1940s. Nearly 200 poems are included in this volume - the vast majority of them are published here for the very first time. Many of the verses are serious in tone, reflecting on the deep issues of the day including the coming of the World Wars. Others are light-hearted pastiches of popular verse of the day.
