CHILDREN’S

Welcome
to our Topsy-Turvy catalogue site. We are
collectors, Sally Dore and Betula O'Neill, who began to sell
children's
books to help us buy more for our own collections of books. Below the
illustration on
this page you will find details of what we have on our website.
Our catalogue. Here is our new spring catalogue.
We
have a wide range of children's books and a choice selection
of titles for adults. We have very
much enjoyed our contact with other children's book devotees over the
years, and we do hope you'll enjoy browsing.
Conference:
We organise conferences every two
years on the overall theme of Twentieth
Century Schoolgirls and Their Books. Our next conference will be held in
August 2024, and you can click
here
to go to our new conference
website for more information and a booking form. If
you'd like to see what previous conference talks were like, we have
published the talks from the 2nd to the 6th conferences, please see the
catalogue for details. The book of talks from our 7th conference, held
in August 2022, will be
published very shortly.
Best wishes, Betula and
Sally
We also do gift certificates if you'd
like to add them to your birthday
or Christmas wish list and be certain of getting something you like!
(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 Greyladies
and by Girls Gone By Publishers (GGBP), Books to Treasure,
and some other publishers. 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
