A Little List of Favourite Things

Format: Paperback

Condition: Standard Secondhand — £86.37
What do the conditions mean?

Our conditions mean the following:

  • New - a brand new book
  • Almost New - appears new but is actually secondhand.
  • Very Good - only minor imperfections such as minor scuffs to edge or cover or a price written in pencil or shop sticker.
  • Standard Secondhand - Clearly been read before, but not too bad. We do not recommend these for gifting. Spines usually creased. Could also include creases or folds to cover, some writing such as in the cover or elsewhere, underlining or highlighting, but might not do. Possibly some stains or marks. Similar in general to books in any secondhand shop or charity shop.
  • Poor Condition - Usually this will have a specific problem such as writing inside, water damage, missing dust jacket, heavy staining, large creases or cuts. These are readable copies but not nice ones. On other websites this condition is called 'Acceptable' or 'Fair' , but we want to be more honest.

The best-selling author of THE SMALL PLEASURES OF LIFE has done it again, for children! The Day of the Play and Talking Under the Stars are two captivating little books of brief essays celebrating the special pleasures children enjoy, going for a hamburger, being in the school play, doing your homework at the kitchen table, cold weather, buying sweets, the last day of the holidays, and much more. They are quite unlike any other nooks for children and have just the same tone and special charm that caused Philippe Delerm's book for adults to seize the public's imagination, selling 700, 000 copies in France alone. Phillida Gili's charming line drawings punctuate the text.
