(Were the Heyers Penhallow and Venetia? I saw them in Oxfam!)
They were! Was it Venetia that you said was your favourite?
The others were: Stevie Smith, The Holiday Nina Bawden, The Witch's Daughter (I read this last night, and some of the scenes and images gave me such a sense of recognition that I'm sure I must have read it as a kid, although I didn't realise that when I picked it up) Lucy Boston, A Stranger at Green Knowe (I think this is the next in the series that I haven't yet read) Rosemary Sutcliff, The Lantern Bearers Richard Barber, King Arthur in History and Legend Chretien de Troyes, Perceval, in a verse translation Mary Williams, Some Aspects of the Grail Problem (this isn't actually a book, but an offprint of a journal article bound as a pamphlet)
So yes... once the inhibition against buying had been broken, I went a bit nuts. (Less than £30 for the lot, though.)
