However, I fear that they are an endangered species generally, and if you conisder the economics of it all, then it's hardly surprising.<br /><br />How about a campaign for them to be granted charitable status and be exempt from council tax and income tax? And perhaps be able to apply for a grant towards their rent from the Department of Education?Pursewardenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08093084051459231677noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-446727280609751914.post-51251246939905263122009-10-04T19:25:16.682+01:002009-10-04T19:25:16.682+01:00Ah, the blog link makes me nostalgic for the wonde...Ah, the blog link makes me nostalgic for the wonderful secondhand bookshops at home that Kirsty mentions :(.<br /><br />Did you really mention Mis Hargreaves two or six times?!

Keep meaning to stop into Any Amount of Books and somehow never do. <br /><br />But I think I've been terribly spoiled by the secondhand shops in the States. Always on my list of things to do when I'm home!<br /><br />And very eagerly awaiting my signed copy of 3191 Evenings!<br /><br />K xkristinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14892467118097087057noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-446727280609751914.post-21429008810568198692009-10-04T10:03:31.446+01:002009-10-04T10:03:31.446+01:00That's amazing, Nancy!

Here's a link to an image - this one is 11" but mine is more like 19" tall. The detail is really wonderful. This doll artist worked from the original illustrations of favorite children's books.<br />http://www.rjohnwright.com/chrcrpset.htmlNancy-B-T-MAnoreply@blogger.com
