I figured it's been a while since I've shown one of my vintage books! This is a copy of Hans Christian Andersen's Fairytales by The Bodley Head 😍 I love that this cover was hidden underneath the dust jacket! . . . #hanschristianandersen #fairytales #fairytale #orange #bookcover #vintage #antique #vintagebooks #antiquebooks #oldbooks #theuglyduckling #thelittlemermaid #bookstagram #instabooks #booklr #bookphotography #bibliophile #reading #booklover #bookphoto #readersofinstagram #thebodleyhead

PUT A BOW ON IT Here is a look inside my 1941 Bodley Head edition and you can see the green cover is a bit drab until you notice the beautiful bow on it. While no one is walking around Edwardian Dublin with a bow and arrows, the bow was the favoured weapon of Odysseus in Homer's epic. Past the cover, you can see that someone has priced the book at 50p clearly showing it as an English (or possibly Irish) book and you see that it is based on the unlimited 1937 print. Interestingly they also list the previous editions Share your book tagging this account and you will be entered in the monthly book giveaway.

Heart drawings for The Matter of the Heart by Thomas Morris- the story of heart surgery ❤️ "Thrilling… The “dizzying” story of heart surgery is every bit as important as that of the nuclear, computer or rocket ages. And now it has been given the history it deserves" Sunday Times A fascinating read @penguinrandomhouse #thebodleyhead #thematteroftheheart #heartdrawing
