Children's Classics

[tearinghair]

Does anyone remember a series of classics, presumably for children since I seem to remember buying them with pocket money, published by - well, I'm not sure. On the outside is printed Collins (but one is Oxford) but inside it's clearly Thomas Nelson and Sons. I have four, two of them are in a green binding with a green cardboard sleeve, the other two are in blue binding, no sleeve.

I don't imagine they are of any value. I'm de-cluttering and am about to get rid of them, but I don't like throwing books away; does anyone know whether charity shops would welcome them, or would they simply throw them out? If the latter, I'll hang on to them.

I had quite a few children's classics and found that my local Oxfam Book Shop were delighted to receive them.

They're almost certainly of little value and, as you suggest, many charity shops might well throw them out.

However Oxfam has far more space for books than most other charities (simply because it has lots of shops that sell nothing other than books) and would probably offer them to buyers as 'collectable children's' editions.

We have a local Oxfam book shop, so I'll try there. Thanks to both. Buenchico, you could set up an answering site of your own....that's two helpful answers in the last two days, on very different topics! And if I looked back over my AB history I bet I'd find at least 20 more.
