Across at Stella Books, we have finished cataloguing the large Biggles collection, and are currently working through sets of transport, history, military and topography.

The Golden Bird contributed by Catriona
My turn to write this article for our newsletter was fast approaching and the usual mild panic was setting in as I tried to decide which book to choose. Then we acquired a collection of folk and fairy tales and this book was amongst them. Written by Edith Brill it grew out of stories her Polish father used to tell her. It is beautifully illustrated by Jan Pienkowski (originally from Poland) using silhouettes and some colour.
