@GuidReadsAlva Glenda Jackson went to school in West Kirby. I wonder if there's a connection to her family?

Come with me on a journey. Or rather with this book. This is a signed copy of "After All" by Elsie de Wolfe (aka Lady Mendl) which is quite a find in itself.

Elsie was a world famous interior designer living with her convenient husband and lesbian life-parner in Versailles...

Looking for descendants of Betty Henderson in the Dundee area. Let's get this book back to her family.

Another #booktreasure today.

Beautiful old Little Dorrit by Charles Dickens given as a school prize for attendance from the Seymour Lodge Girls' School, Dundee to Betty Henderson in 1914. Wonder if anyone can trace her family?

@DymphnaNugent The Wesleyan Girls' School later became @KentCollegePemb. They may have a record of Agnes in their archives.

David's book is being returned to his daughter.

His award for good bowling performance was clearly well deserved. He later went on to become captain and president of @ClacksCCC.

Another school book prize-this one happened to be my dad's school so I sent him a wee message and the info we have is that he lived in Grange Rd, Alloa and my mum knew him as "Lucy's dad".

Wonder if we can get this one back to the family?

@GuidReadsAlva Good luck.

Looking for David Henderson who lived in Alloa.

Let's try to return this book, awarded in 1960 for good bowling performance in the school cricket team.

This book is heading back to Kenneth in Aberdeen after 62 years. I'd love to see his face when it arrives in the post.

How fabulous is this edition of Robert Louis Stevenson's Kidnapped and Catriona awarded as an @AlvaAcademy prize to Kenneth Murray in 1960...does anyone know him or his family?

@GuidReadsAlva Great work! How did you find him?

[Long Lost Book @longlostbook]

Do you know Kenneth Murray? He received this book as an award for merit at Alva Academy in 1960.

This book belonged to David or Peter Llewellyn from Cardiff. David trained at HMS Ganges in 1968, followed by Peter in 1970.

Do you know them?

@alwaystotheside @The_PBS You could also turn the lights off and have browsing by candlelight. It could be a very cool marketing strategy!

[Long Lost Book @longlostbook]

@iainlee People also wrote names and gift inscriptions in books. It's good fun if you can return it to the original owner.

[Long Lost Book @longlostbook]

@TrishaJayne1167 @Taff1979 @CountyTimes @BnRExpress @LBFlyawayhome That's great. Are you able to contact her?

[Long Lost Book @longlostbook]

Can we return this #LadybirdBook to Ian Richards in Builth Wells?

I think he's written a classroom number, but there's nothing to identify a school. The book dates from the mid to late '70s.

@UoYAlumni @UniOfYork @LitSocYork Thank you.

[Long Lost Book @longlostbook]

Can we return this book to Wendy Barrett, who studied English Literature at #YorkUni between 1978 and 1981? Please RT.

@GuidReadsAlva @OxUniPress I see you tagged the church in your Facebook post. I'm sure that someone there will know the family.

[Long Lost Book @longlostbook]

@DAOPoetsSociety This could be him. The cricket club is only a few miles from Barrowford.

Could @YorkVision help to find Wendy?

[Long Lost Book @longlostbook]

@HD_RGULaw It might be worth contacting Eton if you wished to return it. You have a name and approximate date, so they could find him in their records.
