With today being Beltane I thought I'd browse for old Beltane paperbacks. I collect old novels and haven't got any with the ancient festival in them.
There are many modern novels but three old ones stood out for me, although I don't know any of them or the authors.
The Beltane Fires by Paul Bourquin. This edition is from 1964 in hardback.
The Fires of Beltane by Pamela Wallace. This is the 1978 paperback edition.
The oldest book I could find was Beltane the Smith published in 1915 and written by Jeffery Farnol. This is a hardback edition. Not sure which year. There have been many reprints of this novel and many different covers, which I imagine someone avidly collects given the number.
Do you collect old books?
