Bookish Monday : Whispers of the Macabre

Today I thought I'd share some of the vintage books I've brought home with me lately.  These were discovered in second-hand shops around Bridgend and Neath.

All the links within this post will take you to that particular item within my etsy shop.

The first is this classic 1960s edition of Under Milk Wood, by Dylan Thomas.


A 1980s  copy of Great Expectations, by Charles Dickens. 


I almost kept hold of this one - but here it is - A first Penguin English Library edition of Selected Writings by Edgar Allan Poe - dated 1967.


A 1960s Orange Penguin edition of The Birds and Other Stories by Daphne du Maurier.

Also one of my favourite Alfred Hitchcock films.


A selection of Edgar Allan Poe's Stories and Poems within this perfectly illustrated tome - Visions of Poe by Simon Marsden


And last, but by no means least, this 1970s edition of Watership Down by Richard Adams, which I'm selling with a lovely little postcard that matches the book-cover.
