A couple of my current vintage reads.

The Golden Collar (originally published in 1955 as The Smith‘s Hoard and then as Hidden Gold) is a children‘s holiday story. A brother and sister go to spend some time at their great aunt‘s house and end up finding an Iron Age hoard. I‘m always down for a good hoard!

Cathythoughts These look great Leah 👍🏻♥️ 8mo
lazydaizee Nice book covers. 8mo
jlhammar Both sound wonderful. Love those vintage covers. 8mo

Ruthiella So pretty! 😍 And who doesn‘t like a story about finding hidden treasure? I was fascinated by archeology as a kid. (edited) 8mo
LeahBergen @Cathythoughts I‘m into very light reads of late. 😆 8mo
LeahBergen @Ruthiella I was, too! I would‘ve loved this one as a kid. 8mo

Thrush Green | Miss Read
post image

I‘ve read quite a few (7 or 8?) of Miss Read‘s Fairacre novels but this is my first foray into the Thrush Green series. It‘s quiet and charming and I‘m enjoying it immensely!

squirrelbrain Oh I used to love the Miss Read books when I was younger! They had loads of them in our teeny tiny village library. 10mo
rubyslippersreads Believe it or not, I haven‘t read Miss Read. Your lovely copies are inspiring me, though. 10mo
Tamra So pretty. 😊 10mo

This is a beautifully illustrated novella about an old woman looking back to a best-loved Christmas of her Edwardian-era childhood. A delightful (and melancholy) little read.

Tamra Sounds and looks lovely. 💜 11mo
BarbaraJean Those endpapers! 😍 11mo
batsy Sounds delightful! 11mo

#Pemberlittens this looks like something similar to Pym. #JaneAdjacent Read? @BarkingMadRead @StayCurious

rubyslippersreads I‘ve never read any Miss Read, but would love to. 11mo
LeahBergen I do love Miss Read but her novels are all much more simple and of the “cozy village life” sort than Pym. I‘m trying to say it without sounding snobbish or disparaging but Pym is way more “literary”. 😆 But I read and love them both! 11mo
Crinoline_Laphroaig @LeahBergen Love your explanation! 11mo

Finished reading this beautiful book tonight. It makes me want to get out and explore some nature before the big heat comes in with summer. Seeing as we are being told to expect some nastiness weather wise, oh and snakes, I do not want to meet any snakes in the heat
