TOPSY - TURVY
CHILDREN’S BOOKS |
|
Welcome to our Topsy-Turvy catalogue site. We are
collectors, Sally Dore and Betula O’Neill, who have begun to sell
children's
books to help us buy more for our own collections of books.
(Sally's beloved, Mark, kindly acts as our webmaster.)
Below the illustration on this page you will find details of what we have
on our website.
Important information
We are delighted to announce that the Topsy-Turvy Day Conference in
Bristol on the 16th August, A Celebration of Girls' School Stories, will definitely
go ahead.
We do have some places remaining, however. As well as a variety of
excellent speakers, we will be having discussions groups, demonstrations
and a book sale. Please click here for
further details.

Our catalogue.
Our new
February / March catalogue is now
available . Please do have a look and see if anything takes your fancy. (Those on our mailing list get advance warning of when our new catalogues are issued - contact either of us to be added.)
Both of us stock the new titles published by Fidra Books, and by Girls Gone By Publishers (GGBP). Click here for further details.

We hope you will find our site interesting and perhaps track down a book you’ve been seeking. Although we do occasionally include books written for adults, and a few picture books, we concentrate on twentieth century children's fiction, with school stories a particular strength.
To move around the site, use the buttons in the left margin or click on any text that is highlighted
and underlined.
Please see the Information on forthcoming books for some of the newly reprinted classics that are coming up soon. Don't forget, we can supply our
Topsy-Turvy gift certificates to your nearest and dearest if you want to request them for your birthday and make sure you'll get a present you really do want! Or how about asking for one for Easter - better for the waistline than a chocolate Easter Egg, and more lasting too!
Only those on our mailing list receive advance information about our new sales lists. If you would like to be added, please see the relevant section of our Catalogues
page.
