“It is a glory to be in London again, and even better to be in St. Crispian’s. It has always been the favourite neighbourhood of mine, settled so near Primrose Hill.”
The Book Fairies have been busy celebrating the release of The Unselected Journals of Emma M. Lion Volume 1 and 2 by Beth Brower across the UK today!
The fairies followed the plot of the novel around London, including Primrose Hill, The Regent’s Park, The National Gallery and more – as well as leaving copies in places all around the UK! See some highlights here on instagram…
About Volume 1:
The year is 1883 and Emma M. Lion has returned to her London neighbourhood of St. Crispian’s. But Emma’s plans for a charmed and studious life are sabotaged by her eccentric Cousin Archibald, her formidable Aunt Eugenia, and the slightly odd denizens of St. Crispian’s.
About Volume 2:
The year is 1883 and Emma M. Lion has returned to her London neighbourhood of St. Crispian’s. But Emma’s plans for a charmed and studious life are sabotaged by her eccentric Cousin Archibald, her formidable Aunt Eugenia, and the slightly odd denizens of St. Crispian’s.
Emma M. Lion offers up her Unselected Journals, however self-incriminating they may be, which comprise a series of volumes. Armed with wit and a sideways amusement, Emma documents the curious realities of her life at Lapis Lazuli House.
Happy finders!
We were excited to see so many books being hidden today and are especially blown away by Sunanda and Tumpa, who were visiting Edinburgh from India and spotted the bundle being left at the base of the castle!
