treasures

that have been loved to bits, literally.

Roget's Thesaurus was won by my Uncle Ernie in 1933 in a crossword competition; I have used it all my life; the binding is held on by a few shreds of sticky tape but all the pages are there-

When we were very young is the first book I was ever given, it's dated Xmas 1943 which is before my time and I have no idea who gave it to me, but I knew all the poems by heart before I went to school. It is missing pages, and the others are torn, loose and held in by yellowing sellotape.
