Secret of The Old Mill

Post by tix »

The Enid Blyton book values keep on rising to the extent where it could be described as 'plain ridiculous.'

'Secret Of The Old Mill' (1948) is going for about £250 at one source and £130 or thereabouts, at another. There's also what looks like a 1990's paperback available for the equivalent of sixty pounds or so!!!!

Can this be true?

The book 'looks' like a paperback although it may be a modern hardcover edition - but £60 seems completely out of this world.

For a common-sense price look no further than 'TradeMe' where a mere £12 give-or-take is being asked ...... 'Currently!!'

Auction closes in about fifteen hours.

I bought my very good copy of The Secret of the Old Mill off eBay in 2016 for £16 :D
'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.'

(E. Blyton, Sunday Times, 1951)
