5 Little Books - Exclusive to Boots!

Post by Rob Houghton »

Saw this on eBay - very good condition, but I'm not about to pay the price!

However, I found it interesting that these were sold in bundles of five books in Boots - Funny that it was a bundle of 5 when there were 8 in the set!

'Oh voice of Spring of Youth
hearts mad delight,
Sing on, sing on, and when the sun is gone
I'll warm me with your echoes
through the night.'

Even odder than you thought, Rob, as there were only six books in the set, so it seems odd to leave one out!

Yes - I thought the same...then I mistakenly wrote there were 8 books! :oops:
