This week's Crafty Friday is courtesy of a SurLaLune reader who sent me the link and a short email: I spotted these new releases on The Little Stitcher's blog and thought of you. Jo P Thanks for sharing, Jo, and thinking of SurLaLune. If you are curious, you can also visit Jo's blog at Serendipitous Stitching . These images come from the designer's blog at The Little Stitcher. They are available for sale in her Etsy Store . About the designs: For these designs I wanted to put together some details of two versions of the story of Cinderella, the first by the Brothers Grimm and the second by Charles Perrault. I warmly suggest you to read both fairy tales because they are beautiful, much more the cartoon adapted by Disney. The detail of the Fairy Godmother, who asks Cinderella to bring her a big pumpkin, and then the mice - and even six lizards that the Fairy turns into lackeys - comes from the fairytale collected by Perrault, while in the version collected by the Brother

(Amazon US and UK Links) The Shadow Queen (Ravenspire)  by C. J. Redwine was released last week in the US. It will be released on March 3 in the UK. This is a Snow White retelling if the black apple on the cover wasn't obvious enough. :) I sometimes miss those clues myself. Redwine has a following from her Defiance series and this new book in a new series is getting positive reviews. Book description: A dark epic fantasy inspired by the tale of Snow White, from C. J. Redwine, the author of the Defiance series. Perfect for fans of A Court of Thorns and Roses and Cinder.

To do that, Lorelai needs to use the one weapon she and Queen Irina have in common�magic.

Crochet Stories: Grimms' Fairy Tales (Dover Knitting, Crochet, Tatting, Lace) by Vanessa Putt is today's Crafty Friday offering.

O wonderful, wonderful, and most wonderful wonderful! And yet again wonderful, and after that, out of all hooping. Yes, it is a little strange to use Shakespeare to discuss a new book about Greek myths but it perfectly describes my happiness about this new release. Echo Echo: Reverso Poems About Greek Myths by Marilyn Singer (Author) and Josee Masse (Illustrator) is officially released today. This makes the third offering by this team. I have gushed over their earlier two books plenty of times, see New Book: Mirror Mirror: A Book of Reversible Verse by Marilyn Singer and New Release: Follow Follow: A Book of Reverso Poems by Marilyn Singer to read about those. Well, this book doesn't use fairy tales but mythology for inspiration. Remember, you can click on images to see them larger and to read the sample pages of poems I am sharing here. Book description: A new book of unique reversible poems based on Greek myths from the creator of Mirror Mirror What happens when you hold up a

A few years ago I wrote about sharing a favorite book with my niece Kensie at Three Billy Goats Gruff Toys and My Favorite Book Version . She still enjoys the story sometimes but her brother Clark has taken over biggest fan status. I wrote about my storytime adventures with him a little last week at Family Moment: The Three Little Rigs by David Gordon , but he also surprised me with this one--he actually surprised the entire family since his grandparents, Mom, and Uncle John were in the room, too, albeit mostly doing their own things. This has been a standard in my book bag for years and particularly with Clark since about last summer when he was 2.5 years old. Again, we hadn't read it in several months and he has other versions in his home library, but not this one. He pulled out the book-- The Three Billy Goats Gruff by Mary Finch (Author), Roberta Arenson (Illustrator)--and the Manhattan Toy finger puppets set that I have used for storytimes for about 15 years now. The text is

Cinderella Ate My Daughter: Dispatches from the Front Lines of the New Girlie-Girl Culture by Peggy Orenstein has been temporarily dropped to $1.99 in ebook format. It was $2.99 a few years ago during another sale, but this is the lowest price I've seen for it to date, probably the lowest it will ever be. I posted some thoughts and opinions about the book a few times when it was released, see  New Book: Cinderella Ate My Daughter: Dispatches from the Front Lines of the New Girlie-Girl Culture and More Cinderella Ate My Daughter . As I've said previously, for this price, it's a good book to have around as a touchstone in the fairy tale gender discussions, although the book is more slanted towards Disney discussions specifically if I remember correctly. I've continued to see articles related to the book in the three years since it was published, so this has been an important influence in recent discussions in the mainstream world.

I am trying to get organized enough to get some regular blog posts going again. So Crafty Friday is returning with  Fairy Tale Amigurumi: Crochet Patterns by Lis Sun . Since most of you are like-minded and mostly want to enjoy the pictures and cleverness of the crafts, I have pictures! Enjoy! I really do like the Amigurumi style. Book description: This compilation consists of the fairy tales that we grow up with. The stories of red riding hood and the big grey wolf, the nursery rhymes of dumpty humpty, the little pinocchio that grows a long nose when he lies, the beautiful rapunzel saved by the charming prince, and the famous Chinese teaching on the frog in the well. This book consists of written pattern instruction and well illustrated pictorial instruction with generous spread of photos to guide you along. Skill level: *Easy *Patterns use basic stitches such as sc, dc, hdc, inc, dec, ch, sl st etc. I found many of these images on Lisa Sun's various internet hangouts. At SAPlanet

The Book Lover's Cookbook: Recipes Inspired by Celebrated Works of Literature, and the Passages That Feature Them by Shaunda Kennedy Wenger and Janet Jensen is on sale for 99 cents in ebook format. No, there are not any fairy tales inside, but there are books that draw from fairy tales, like Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe by C. S. Lewis and Jane Eyre by Charlotte Bronte. This has been on my wishlist for a while so I was thrilled to add the ebook version to my library for a buck. There is a treasure trove of books I love saluted within. Book description: Wake up to a perfect breakfast with Mrs. Dalby's Buttermilk Scones, courtesy of James Herriot's All Things Bright and Beautiful and Ichabod's Slapjacks, as featured in Washington Irving's The Legend of Sleepy Hollow. There's homey comfort food like Connie May's Tomato Pie, created with and inspired by Connie May Fowler (Remembering Blue); Thanksgiving Spinach Casserole (Elizabeth Berg's Open House); an

So last week I gained a very great affection for The Three Little Rigs by David Gordon. Why? Family, of course. About once a month, I take a small suitcase filled with books and puppets and such to visit my sister's family. Kensie and Clark, my niece and nephew, are 6 and 3 years old, so Clark is overall more interested in most of the books and puppets these days since Kensie is aging out on some of the younger books for now. (Not that I ever did.) She loves books, bless her parents who have been literally reading to her every day since the day she was born, and this visit coincided with her birthday. She was as excited about the books I gave her as any of her other gifts. She and I had some fine reading moments that day, too, but this is about Clark this time. (I found this image of my bag online --this is for sale for a crazy price, but this is what my storytime bag looks like. Lots of fun pockets for treasures and plenty of space for books without breaking my back. I love it an
