Evelyn's Mystery Books

  The Trixie Belden book that found me today in the charity shop. I found this somewhat tattered Trixie Belden book in a charity shop in Mount Isa, Australia, today. I went into the shop quickly to browse for a book to read during my ten days in the field for my geology work, and this book caught my eye when I was browsing the bookshelves.  I already own a copy or two of this book, but this somewhat worn copy was destined to come with me into the field. I don't have to worry about damaging it during my travels, and it's the perfect Trixie Belden book to read in late October close to Halloween. Do you ever feel that a book finds you at just the right time to read it? Well, I think that's what happened with this book today.

A fun little gift bag set. I recently bought this delightful little gift bag set that consists of a Nancy Drew bag with some 1930s artwork and the first two Nancy Drew books in flashlight editions. This is a great little item that I've placed on display on the shelf that has my collection of flashlight Nancy Drew books. I just couldn't resist this neat little gift bag with some lovely artwork. I wonder when this was produced. It looks fairly recent.  Here are some more pictures: Top view. Side view. Bottom of the bag. Back of the bag.
