December SurLaLune Giveaway: What Fairy Tale Things Are On Your Holiday Wish List?


It's December! Time to give away a few books! So what better way to solicit giveaway entries than to ask you what fairy tale related gift you want this year for whatever December holiday(s) you celebrate?

Share your fairy tale related wish list for this year either through a comment to this blog post or through an email to me. Each wish list item, up to five items, will count as a giveaway entry.

I'll make posts of your wishlists to share with other readers here since at least I am always curious and several others have asked me to share so they might find new treasures, too. Entries will be accepted through Thursday, December 31st so you can also come back and share what you may have received, too!

You will get one giveaway entry for each item you share.

I will draw random winners from the entries in early January and giveaway to three winners a SurLaLune Fairy Tales library title of their choice. There 10 titles to choose from and this way you won't have to win a title you may already own. And, no, list price doesn't matter. So choose one of the bigger books if that is what you want!

    I actually have a very long list of fairy tale related things on my list. Most are books.
    1. Rapunzel by Barbara Rogasky and illustrated by Trina Schart Hyman (I love her art).
    2. Beauty and the Beast by Deborah Apy and Michael Hague
    3. Scandinavian Folk &Fairy Tales: Tales from Norway, Sweden, Denmark, Finland and Iceland by Claire Booss and Mary McBride
    4. A set of Ursula Jones and Sarah Gibb fairy tale books: Beauty and the Beast, Rapunzel, The Princess Who had no Kingdom and The Princess Who had no Fortune. (the art is gorgeous!)
    5. Another thing I would love to have would be a nice collection of bookmarks featuring fairy tale illustrations (traditional versions, not Disney). Beauty and the Beast, East of the Sun, West of the Moon, Catskin, Snow White, Cinderella, Snow Queen... So far my searches have come up empty.

    This is perfect, considering my wishlist is pretty much nothing BUT fairy-tale stuff.

    1: DVD of the 2015 live-action Cinderella
    2: Cinderella's Dress/Cinderella's Shoes by Shonna Slayton
    3: The Whimsical Watches polar bear watch that reminded you of East of the Sun, West of the Moon
    4: A Lunar Chronicles boxed set
    5: A pair of magic dancing shoes (hopefully the kind that I can remove without chopping off my feet, but I'll take anything at this point)

    Two things so far - the new version of the Snow Queen illustrated by Sanna Annukka and also the little Ladybird jigsaws of some of their classic fairytales. Both things came into the shop when I work and they are in my Christmas wish list basket!
