In honor of my new weekly meme, Fairy Tale Fridays, I am having a giveaway of the book that was the inspiration!!! It is a book filled with mystery and intrigue, all woven amongst a multitude of classic fairy tales. I even voted this book as my favorite general fiction book read in 2009!! Have you figured it out yet?!? In case you have not, it is The Book of Lost Things by John Connolly!!

I love so many fairy tales it is hard to choose. Trina Schart Hyman's Little Red Riding Hood tops the list because I love her illustrations.

hmmm. Favorite Fairy Tale...probably The Six Swans although I hate that the one brother's arm stays a wing at the end. I always imagine a different ending. :-)
It's not easy to pick a favorite fairy tale, but I really like Beauty & the Beast. Thanks for the chance to win a copy of Connolly's book. It sounds different and intriguing!

A favorite at our house right now is Jack and the bean stalk!
