This month, the literary spotlight is on prolific children's author, George Farrow (1862- 1919). Writing under the pen- name, G.E. Farrow, his books carried on the ‘nonesense’ and ‘absurd’ style made famous by Lewis Carroll earlier in the 19th century. Farrow's books are bursting with humour, fantastical creatures and absurd situations, and are important examples of late- Victorian and Edwardian children's fiction.
Prices vary. Many first editions, different bindings and illustrated copies (Harry Furniss). Pop in the shop to have a browse or contact Jim for more details…
