LeahBergen I‘ve never heard of these! They look wonderful. 😍 6y
CarolynM @LeahBergen They're children's books from the earlier part of the 20th century (first one published 1910, I think). They're fairly typical of kids books of the period but set in the Australian countryside (what we call "the bush"). More recent editions have had a bit of editing as some of the content was rather racist and not appropriate in the modern world! 6y

When my book group chose this book I wasn't interested & thought I wouldn't bother. The weekend before the meeting I tried it just so I could criticise it. It took less than 30 pages before I was absolutely hooked and I finished it before weekend was over. It's just so good. I loved the sequel too. I'm not looking forward to volume 3 - it is not going to end well.

TrishB Love this too 💕 6y
Ruthiella I also thought this book (and its follow up) was genius! Can‘t way for The Mirror and the Light. 6y
LeahBergen I adore this book. ❤️ 6y

Asktheletters I had a similar experience with the audio book! Loved it. 6y
LeeRHarry Still haven‘t read the second, maybe because I found the first one a bit of a slog 6y
Crazeedi From what I remember this book was a disappointment to me 🤔 6y

Not only is there a main character who is a book lover, but the local library and librarian are important parts of the story. I've just realised I photographed the 2nd book in the series Beautiful Darkness but it still fits the prompt so it will do.
