Girls Gone By Publishers is a publishing venture run by Clarissa Cridland and Ann Mackie-Hunter. For more information about us, please click here.
We re-publish some of the most popular girls' fiction from the twentieth century, concentrating on those titles which are most sought after, and difficult to find on the second-hand market.
We use the complete and unabridged text from first editions (except in very rare cases when we cannot find a first edition), together with all the illustrations. All of our books come with at least one introduction by an ‘expert’ in the field, and most of them come with a publishing history including illustrations of all editions (these often make fascinating reading).
Our aim is to make these books available at affordable prices, and to make ownership possible not only for existing collectors but also for new collectors so that the survival of the books is continued. We also publish some new titles which fit into this genre.
We also have a programme of non fiction titles related to the genre. As a rule, these take a lot of editorial work, and thus have a long lead time from when we announce them to when they are published.
