SurLaLuner Wishlist 2015: L. Bradshaw


L. Bradshaw shared a wishlist with us as part of the December SurLaLune Giveaway: What Fairy Tale Things Are On Your Holiday Wish List?. I'm enjoying these so please keep sharing!

And on to L.B.'s list:

I'm going for a mix of fairy tale themed and FAIRY TALE ;)

1. A magical talking horse

(Heidi's comments: Probably not Falada, but that is what always comes to my mind first.)

2. A complete set of the Lang Fairy Books

Blue Fairy Book edited by Andrew Lang illustrated by H. J. Ford  Red Fairy Book edited by Andrew Lang illustrated by H. J. Ford  Green Fairy Book edited by Andrew Lang illustrated by H. J. Ford  Yellow Fairy Book edited by Andrew Lang illustrated by H. J. Ford

Pink Fairy Book edited by Andrew Lang illustrated by H. J. Ford  Grey Fairy Book edited by Andrew Lang illustrated by H. J. Ford  Violet Fairy Book edited by Andrew Lang illustrated by H. J. Ford  Crimson Fairy Book edited by Andrew Lang illustrated by H. J. Ford

Brown Fairy Book edited by Andrew Lang illustrated by H. J. Ford  Orange Fairy Book edited by Andrew Lang illustrated by H. J. Ford  Olive Fairy Book edited by Andrew Lang illustrated by H. J. Ford  Lilac Fairy Book edited by Andrew Lang illustrated by H. J. Ford
(Heidi's comments: I remember how thrilled I was to complete my library of them several moons ago.)

3. A copy of Tales of the Marvellous and News of the Strange


Tales of the Marvellous and News of the Strange (Hardcover Classics) by Coralie Bickford-Smith (Illustrator), Malcolm C. Lyons (Translator), Robert Irwin (Introduction)

4. A door that opens wherever I want (to London! to Narnia! to the 1800s)

(Heidi's comments: Then I start thinking about what the door would look like and I spend way to much time looking at door pictures...)

5. An original Arthur Rackham

Rackham's Ashenputtel
(Heidi's thoughts: I'm not sure which I would pick since I love so many of his. But it's a grand impossibility to daydream about. Aschenputtel above would be a top contender for me.)

Can't wait to see what others are wishing for!!

    I would certainly want my talking horse to come to a better end than Falada :)

    I'm still a ways from a full Lang set, but it gives me something to hunt for at Flea Markets.

    That door is lovely!
