Look what I‘ve been reading today @rockpools and @charl08 ! 😆

(This was published as Traveling Shoes in the US).

rockpools 💚💚💚 Awww. I‘m guessing I‘ve already mentioned how much I loved this as a kid. Still have my copy somewhere 😊 4y

slategreyskies I can never hear the name Noel Streatfeild without thinking of that scene in You‘ve Got Mail where Meg Ryan spells it out to the clueless bookstore clerk. 4y

Here‘s the cover on my edition, @RachelO . It‘s not quite as charming as the Puffin! 😄

This book was published as Traveling Shoes in the US.

Centique These covers are making me want to go on a Noel Streatfield hunt! I‘ve never seen this one before. 7y

Reviewsbylola Same! @Centique 7y

charl08 Oh i read this so often as a kid! My copy is definitely not in such good condition though! 7y

rockpools 😍 Love it! Your cover is much more 'Apple Bough'! 7y

rubyslippersreads 😍😍😍 I have a vague memory of checking some of the Shoes books out of the elementary school library, but I definitely need to revisit the series. 7y

In the children's memories it had been an absolutely perfect house. It had lots of large rooms- which the grown-ups remembered as shabby and difficult to keep clean - but the children remembered as beautiful, for everything in them was their own. ...'There is something nicer than anything else... about coming into a house where nothing is strange, where everything is exactly where you know it will be'.

rockpools @Blaire @batsy 😊Thank you! 7y

emilyhaldi Love this quote 💗 7y

Mdargusch Great photo! I am not familiar with this book. 7y

LeahBergen Gorgeous photo (and book)! I have a cute little old hardcover of this one. ❤️ 7y

rockpools @LeahBergen I don't know I've ever seen another copy of this! 7y

LeahBergen I‘ll take a photo for you. 😄 7y

charl08 Ok now I have to try and find my copy! 7y

rockpools @charl08 Please do! The pages of mine have turned that lovely shade of 1970s brown-at-the-edges that they go just before they disintegrate... 7y

rubyslippersreads Gorgeous photo (and I want to read this book. 😊🍎) 7y

rockpools @rubyslippersreads I was sure you'd have read this - it was called Traveling Shoes in the US (says @LeahBergen , who knows things!) 7y

rubyslippersreads @RachelO I think I read some of the Shoes books in elementary school, but I can't remember which ones. 😏 7y

LeahBergen @rubyslippersreads Oh, you‘d love them. Especially The Painted Garden / Movie Shoes where the main character acts in a movie of The Secret Garden. 😄 (edited) 7y

rubyslippersreads @LeahBergen oooh, that sounds right up my alley. 😊🌸🌼🌺 7y

A few #alltimefavebooks for #augustbookchallenge, and I'm sure I'll be kicking myself for forgetting something *really* important as soon as I hit Post.

Thank you @TheSpinecrackersBookClub for making me dig these out from the back of the shelves - they've been stuck there way too long!

TheSpinecrackersBookClub It's a pleasure 😉 some great books that you are hiding at the back 😉 8y

rockpools @TheSpinecrackersBookClub I very rarely re-read, and this month you've got me wanting to re-read so many thing! Now if only I could find a few extra hours at the back of the shelves as well! 🕰📖😄 8y
