Do you remember...

When girls were loud-mouthed, opinionated heroines who climbed on the roof, rode horses and saved the school from burning down? When boys were made of slugs and snails and created their own fantastic worlds to play in?

Come and be reunited with your fictional friends at The Town Mouse, an online bookshop with a good range of vintage books for children young and old.

While you're here, take a look at our collection of old non-fiction to remind you of how we used to find things out in the days before the internet..

Vintage books make lovely presents. Why not have a special book gift-wrapped for someone who will love it?
