A little piece of childhood, with a secret hiding place inside.
This vintage copy of When We Were Very Young has been given a new life as a handmade hollow book safe, while keeping the beautiful character of the original book.
The illustrated cover, spine and back are all decorative, and inside you'll find a new endpaper on the left hand side along with a sweet original illustration from the book that has been kept as a little suprise inside the hollowed out compartment.
It looks like a lovely old book sitting on your shelf, but open it up and there's somewhere to tuck away your favourite little treasures.
