Fairy Tale Gifts 2012: Spike

Our next entry in the Fairy Tale Gifts 2012 Giveaway is from Spike (Spike is in the UK so many of these links are to Amazon.co.uk with some US links added in.):

Seriously, I could create sublists here. One for fiction books, one for nonfiction, one for artworks, one for.... so to cut it down to 5 items.

I'm entering cause it's a fun list (I already own a copy of irresistible fairy tales)

Some of the items really are BIG wishes

1. Gossip from the Forest: The Tangled Roots of Our Forests and Fairytales: A Search for the Hidden Roots of Our Fairytales by Sara Maitland or the US version: From the Forest: A Search for the Hidden Roots of our Fairytales (I was so disappointed that this book hadn't come out earlier, as it seems to link closely with my own past research of the last year)

2. Mermaid and Other Water Spirit Tales From Around the World by Heidi Anne Heiner or the US edition: Mermaid and Other Water Spirit Tales From Around the World (yes really! The last two years has been about forests and woods, I want a different focus...well maybe)

3. Any print by 'Jazmina Cininas', I really like "Angela prefers the company of wolves" (but I think it is sold)
(From Heidi: Ah, to already imagine the image by the title before I saw it...there is a select language some of us know in Fairytalelandia, isn't there?.)

4. One of Jane Godbold's ceramic mermaid sculptures, there were 6 more mermaids on rocks, but this is the best shot have that includes the boat. (see attached image)

5. A book sculpture by Su Blackwell. Hmm which one? I think "Wild swans" but again I think it has sold..and out of my price range too. (From Heidi: That's my favorite of her limited edition lithographs, too. And it is sold out. I'm gonna have to settle for the book: The Fairy-Tale Princess: Seven Classic Stories from the Enchanted Forest or the UK edition: The Fairytale Princess: Seven Classic Stories from the Enchanted Forest)

Cheers, Spike.
