Redshank's Warning | 
pickA fun, light mystery/adventure featuring a quirky family of 4 (a father & his 3 children), who stumble across a mystery whilst on holiday. The characters are fun, the story hooks, & the setting (the salt flats of Norfolk) is a true delight. This book was particularly relevant for right now - the beginning opens with an end of a quarantine, due to measles. Thus the holiday & adventure, after being cooped up for several weeks.

catebutler The edition on the left is by a fantastic publishing company, called Girls Gone By Publishing, who re-publish popular fiction from the 20th century, usually with a focus on children‘s literature. They recently republished the second in this series, ‘Two Fair Plaits‘, which I‘ll be picking up soon. 4y
catebutler Sadly, RS is out of print again, so the title is a bit difficult to find. I was able to hunt down a vintage abridged edition (on the right), which is what I recently read. Then two weeks ago, I came across the GGBP edition, which showed up in the post yesterday. Happy happy day! (edited) 4y

catebutler @LeahBergen Thank you, Leah! Have you read this author? 4y
LeahBergen I haven‘t but he‘s been on my “vintage hunting radar” for ages. 😆 4y
catebutler @LeahBergen I know how that goes... So many books to find. 😂🤓📚 4y
rockpools I haven‘t heard of these! I used to love Malcolm Saville‘s series set in Shropshire- Lone Pine, possibly? - and had no idea he‘d written other stuff. I only ever got my hands on a few old library copies - that was the first time I‘d heard that things can go out of print- I remember being most put out! I‘ll have to look for these 😊 4y
catebutler @rockpools I want to read the Lone Pine series too! I believe LP was his most famous series. But the Jillies (pictured in my post) is well loved too! GGBP has been republishing most of his books, so do check them out and keep their reprints in mind. 4y
batsy I've never heard of these books and they sound delightful! Plus, those covers ❤️ 4y
catebutler @batsy They are so fun, especially if you enjoy vintage children‘s books like the Chalet School, and Enid Blyton. Highly recommend. 😊 4y
