UnTapped Project of historical literary 'lost' books has released the print version of 'General Store'. Libraries will be using these too. Thrilled that my first YA novel, written almost 50 years ago has new life & content hasn't dated.
Love the new cover and money amounts were in the right currency on the General Store sweet jars. Difference between pence (d ) and cents. Good talking point relating to decimal currency change date.
Congratulations Hazel. Fantastic to see older books given a new life. And we love the new cover too!
