It seems only a little whole ago that a good friend to the shop was introducing us to her remarkable talent and her new book, Little Green Shoots.
Now Jenny Henderson has delivered her latest book to Cotswold Bookstore. Called Four in the Fifties, it has nothing to do with Enid Blyton's Famous Five after the death of poor Timmy, but is a nostalgic look at a childhood in the 50s and 60s. In fact, the full title is Four in the Fities, Seven in the Sixties.
Her jacket blurb - 'It will enthral anyone who can recall the excitement of steam trains, the steamy whirl of washday, of 'Listen with Mother' by cosy coal fires and the safe structured, daily routine of those times.' describes this illustrated book perfectly.
Priced at only £10.99, at our store, £1.00 of which Jenny will donate to the BBC Children in Need Appeal, it is the perfect companion to Little Green Shoots and a perfect gift for anyone who remember such times.
Narrow fronted but surprisingly large shop in Moreton-in-Marsh High Street with comprehensive stock of (mostly) remainders and other reasonably priced books. Friendly, relaxed atmosphere with a little eccentricity. Two old duffers, Tony and David, who have a remarkable similarity to Minnie Bannister and Henry Crun, own it. Nina does her best to run it - despite their hindrance. Child, dog and gorilla friendly - we'll even put up with adults. Tel.01608 652666 / mail. cotsbookstore@tiscali.co.uk
