A local resident accidentally donated a bag of books with great sentimental value to an op shop in Castlemaine in January. If anyone may have purchased these books, she would be very grateful if you could get in touch.
One book of particular significance is an Asterix and the Normans comic book containing a handwritten dedication between her parents.
She understands that many people have suffered significant losses in the recent fires and that this may seem small by comparison, but anyone who has lost a cherished item knows how upsetting it can be.
She has already contacted the local op shops; however, some of the items had unfortunately already been sold.
List of books still missing:
The Dark is Rising - Susan Cooper (Childhood copy)
Hans Christian Andersen - Folio Society (apparently has been sold at the Salvos)
2001Arthur C Clarke
Twelfth Night William Shakespeare - hardback
The Golden Bough - a study in Magic and Religion
The complete poems of William Blake
Asterix et le tour de Gaul (in French)
Asterix and the Normans (45 year old comic book, starting to fall apart,
probably worth the least of all of them, but worth the most to me!)
Tree and Leaf JRR Tolkien
Any help deeply appreciated! Thank you!
