I hope all of you who are going to Book Expo America have a lovely time! I myself am staying home and looking forward to Armchair BEA! It begins tomorrow, so it's not too late to join in the fun from the comfort of your own home!
For those who are house-hunting- the childhood home of Philipa Pearce, four miles outside Cambridge, is for sale; she used its garden as the setting for Tom's Midnight Garden. (Given the current owners' taste in interior decoration, it's not at all clear to me why they bought this lovely old house in the first place!).
I love the cover round-up, thank you for posting. I'm looking forward to attending Armchair BEA too (first time) -- hope to "meet" you there!
ReplyDelete*blink* the inside...i mean...i get that not everyone likes period interiors but....that red room and...omg WHY?
ReplyDeleteYeah, that's kind of what I was thinking too!
DeleteThe house does not have enough bookshelf space!
ReplyDeleteI like a nice Georgian house, and I like a nice modern kitchen, and I might even like the two of them at once, but there is nothing I like about that red room except maybe the French doors. I would like to have seen a photo of the medieval fishponds, too!
