May 2010: Brian Parks has set up a
Facebook
page for Monica Edwards.
I must repeat the link to the Goodchild Bookshop site here, in case it's missed in the 'In Print' section.
Monica Edwards interest in Badgers can be followed up by visiting
the Badgers Online site of the Hastings group.
Rye Harbour has Rye Harbour.net which has photographs submitted by residents. Really worth a visit.
Rye is well represented with sites at
East Sussex Guide,
Rye Tourism,
The Official Guide to Rye, and
Wild Rye.
Monica left the Wild Valley to
The Woodland Trust,
and would have appreciated support for their work.
And one must never forget the work and dedication of The R.N.L.I.
Children's Books and other Author sites
For information about children's books and collecting, the main site seems to be:
Collecting Books and Magazines.
Another of my favourite childhood authors, Malcolm Saville, has a New Society site at
The Malcolm Saville Society.
I have opened The Malcolm Saville Centenary Website for him and his books at
www.malcolmsaville.co.uk.
There are many Arthur Ransome related sites, but the main one is The Arthur Ransome Society. To see some lovely rare dustwappers of his books, see Robert Thompson's site.
'Folly' magazine, I've mentioned a few times as it's had some lovely
articles about Monica Edwards.
It now has its own site
and there's more information and a link to one of the editors
on the sources page.
The illustrator enthusiast should also look at the Ladybird Book site The Wee Web site.
This site looks at all these illustrated books and is building an extensive database of Children's authors and illustrators.
