The Little Bookroom
Author: Eleanor Farjeon
Publisher: Oxford University Press
Publication Date: 1955
One room in the house of her childhood was called "the little bookroom", Farjeon explains in the Author's Note. Although there were many books all over the house, this dusty room was like an untended garden, full to the ceiling of stray, left-over books, opening "magic casements" on to other times and places for the young Eleanor, filling her mind with a silver-cobwebby mixture of fact, fancy and romance which influenced all her later writing.
A collection of twenty-seven of Eleanor Farjeon's stories, chosen especially by her for this volume's first publishing in 1955.
