I think I am so fortunate in that I read widely as a child, and my father had access (through the university) to an outdated collection of books at the education department which used to be used by students on teaching practice - it used to be an infrequent treat to go there and choose books which were just not available in the public library. The GGB School at the Chalet is wonderful, it is sumptuously illustrated.verityhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16825551404394913715noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2203825390310863045.post-62889753052874347072009-10-01T23:35:09.492+01:002009-10-01T23:35:09.492+01:00Verity, you are my source of knowledge when it com...Verity, you are my source of knowledge when it comes to children's literature re-publishing so I can't help any. The only ones I know of are GGB and the handful of titles by Persephone. At least I was able to direct you in the way of the display in Foyles. I REALLY want a GGB edition of The School at the Chalet :(.Paperback Readerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14579608422235511054noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2203825390310863045.post-68393077405068559822009-10-01T11:03:21.495+01:002009-10-01T11:03:21.495+01:00Karoline - I meant to visit that bookshop as it wa...Karoline - I meant to visit that bookshop as it was recommended to me by a friend whose OH loves it. But I couldn't find it when I was there! I must return to Cambridge, and must make sure to note where it is.<br /><br />Makedoandread - thanks for popping in. Lucky you getting old pbks of the CS - although I have to say I wouldn't part with mine even if I bought a GGBP edition because the old ones have a charm of their own.verityhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16825551404394913715noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2203825390310863045.post-31150875893253890032009-10-01T04:02:29.850+01:002009-10-01T04:02:29.850+01:00I've only recently been introduced to the Chal...I've only recently been introduced to the Chalet School books, thanks in part to friends donating old paperback copies because they've been buying up the newly released GGB editions. <br /><br />Sadly, I can't think of any independent booksellers with children's reprints like GGB or Greyladies here in the states.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2203825390310863045.post-17305610325882864052009-09-30T20:53:35.955+01:002009-09-30T20:53:35.955+01:00If you like Girls Own you should visit the Haunted...If you like Girls Own you should visit the Haunted Book Shop (http://www.sarahkeybooks.co.uk/) next time you're in Cambridge and head to the upstairs room.
