A vintage book with a secret little friend inside.
This vintage copy of A Friend to Stay by Madge S. Smith is just the sort of book you'd hope you stumble across in an old bookshop. With its warm brown cover and charming illustration of books on the front, it has that lovely, well-loved vintage character that makes it feel like it has a story before you've even opened it.
Inside, the original endpapers have been retained showing their age and adding to the book's genuine vintage charm. Open the hidden compartment and you'll find a coordinating checked tartan lining. A lovely contrast to the understated cover.
