The Last Slice of Rainbow

Reviews January 26, 2022 0 Comments

1980s children’s book classic The Last Slice of Rainbow by Joan Aiken, beautifully illustrated by Margaret Walty.

This face belongs to me, Ceri — the one on the left. When I’m not drinking tea and eating biscuits in a semi-vegetative state, I’m usually surrounded by books. I read them, buy them, sell them, photograph them, and sometimes even write about them.

That’s what you’ll find here — stories, snapshots, and small discoveries from a life full of vintage children’s books.

The one on the right is Arlo. He doesn’t read books and refuses to discuss them with me. So I’m hoping you’ll stick around and chat instead.
