1) Beyond the Wide World's End - 30 Ballymullan Road, Crawfordsburn, 30th August 1974 - Dear Billy, How kind of you to make such a liberal order: it is much appreciated. The sad thing is that I cannot fulfill it all, as many books are out of print. Publishers tell one that the average age of novels is about 2 years, that of children's books about 10 years. I did a couple of novels many years ago and then started children's books in the early 1950's? with a book of (already broadcast) tales for under-eights Phelim & the Creatures - long out of print. In 1954 Macmillan accepted me, and I did 3 books with them and signed off in 1961 (Four books about Da???, a jackdaw, and one called Storm on Kildoney: all now out of print.)  Fabers did 13 books for me, beginning in 1954 and ending in 1969. Carrigmore Castle; Tiffany & the Swallow Rhyme; The Cuckoo at Coolnean; Strangers in Carrigmore; The Tobermillin Oracle; The McNeills at Rathcapple; Sandy and the Hollow Book; With Angus in the Forest; The Tinkers' Summer; The House at Spaniard's Bay; the Silver Fighting Cocks; the Glen Beyond the Door; the Two Rebels. (two of these were translated by a Swiss firm, some went to U.S.A. some appeared in Braille. Some are fact-and-fantasy, some straight history.) When I last heard, The two Rebels, the Silver Fighting Cocks, and The McNeills at Rathcapple were still in print - the position may have changed by now.  Luttersworths' did Beyond the Wide World's End, and The Plotters of Pollnashee (in 1972 and 1973). Both are still in print.  I do not know yet when the two paperbacks will come out, I'll let you know when they reach the shops. Publishers are fearsomely slow in sending books to book-sellers, so I think it would be quickest for me to order them personally. By the same post as this I have sent off orders as below for the 5 books which I hope are syill in print. Prices vary greatly, as wages and the price of paper have both rocketed.  (books ordered and prices)  I try to keep a stock for presents and prizes and orders such as yours, and of the out-of-print books I could let you have one copy each of Glen Beyond the Door, 90p; Sandy & the Hollow Book 67½p; Cuckoo at Coolnean, 69½. (If Fabers no longer hold the ones I have in the 'ordered' list: I may have a few extras. I will let you know when the bundles arrive.)  I will keep those mentioned in this para. until I get at least some of the stuff from L's and F's, and then whichever member of the family is passing through Lisburn will leave them in. Do not expect by return: I shudder to think what chaos reigns in publishers' book stores. It may take weeks. So not a penny until you know what you are getting! If the heap frightens you I can always retain them for future presents.  The Belfast Central Library is no longer a very safe place for young readers and borrowers. Once it held most of my books, as did the Linenhall, but books have a habit of straying, so I can't be sure they are still to be had in these places. Some schools have a few. I was very happy to post off to Leona 'No Ivory Tower'. I am so pleased she liked the poems: they were only intended to give easily understandable pleasure. If ever I am obscure it is through lack of skill, never by intent. Again many thanks. I hope to get in touch with you in the not too far distant future. Best wishes to all the family, (and from Mayne Too.) Yours Meta (Reid)

Little Trotty Wagtail: Little trotty wagtail, he went in the rain, and twittering, tottering sideways he ne'er got straight again. He stooped to get a worm, and looked up to get a fly, and then he flew away ere his feathers they were dry.   Little trotty wagtail, he waddled in the mud, And left his little footmarks, trample where he would, he waddled in the water-pudge, and waggle went his tail; and chirrupt up his wings to dry upon the garden rail.   Little trotty wagtail, you nimble all about, and in the dimpling water-pudge you waddle in and out; your home is high at hand, and in the warm pig-sty, so, little Master Wagtail, I'll bid you a good-bye. John Clare  [MORE HERE]
