We carry a selection of philosophical pieces as well - this is 'Nietzsche' presented by Heinrich Mann. For an idea as to how old it is, it is part of "The Living Thoughts Library" series.

Another classic of Australian literature is Ethel Turner's 'Seven Little Australians' which was published in 1894. This edition dates back to 1912, and is in great shape.

If you're after classics, we have discovered a wonderful pair that date from the 30s. How nice are these copies of 'Stories of the Æeneid' and 'Stories from Herodotus'?

I don't know how many steamy stories we will have on our shelves, but I do know that Allan Gurganus' 'Oldest Living Confederate Widow Tells All' will surely be an exciting read.

Every book tells two stories. The one the pages contain, and the journey of the book itself.
This 90+ year old copy of ' Revolt in the Desert' by the legendary T. E. Lawrence sure has been on quite a journey.

The highlight from today's #books is one of unspecified date with the longest and most optimistic title we've seen yet. Here is a gorgeous edition of W. H. G Kingston's "Ronald Moreton; or, The Fire Ships: A Story of the Last Naval War" - I would have sworn we'd run out of char-

Here is Antonia Pakenham's 'King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table' from 1954, so if you're interested in a faithful retelling* of the King Arthur myth, this might be a good place to start.

[Roke Books & Curios @Roke_Books]

We have another classic of children's literature - a hardcover edition of 'The Little Prince' by Saint-Exupéry - how cool is this?
