December 2019 Newsletter
Welcome to the December 2019 newsletter from Stella and Rose's Books. The aim of our newsletter is to keep you informed of new information, articles and books available on our website.
This month we finally took delivery of our shiny new sign! (See photo below). Hopefully it will alert passing drivers to our presence.
We've been super busy fullfilling all of your orders for the festive season. Don't forget the last posting dates for xmas delivery are 13th December for Europe and 18th December for UK. Too late for 'Rest of World' - sorry!
The UK has had it's first snowfall - but unfortunately we missed it (we do like a bit of snow!). Just lots of rain so far this winter for us.
Forest of Dean and The Wye Valley contributed by Theresa

I haven't always lived and worked in the Forest of Dean and The Wye Valley, but it is a place I have grown to love. It is is quite simply a beautiful area at any time of the year but especially so in my two favourite seasons - spring and autumn. In early spring we see the trees tinged with green as they begin to shake off the austerity of winter. As the spring progresses the forest floor is covered with a blue misty haze as the bluebells come into bloom. In autumn the trees put on a last hurrah before winter arrives, as the leaves turn from green, to gold to orange and to deepest red – a riot of colour – it is stunning. Read more... |

The Fairy Tales of Charles Perrault illustrated by Edmund Dulac published by The Folio Society contributed by Sonia
In my opinion, this is one of the most beautiful of the Folio Society books, and I love fairy tales so what could be better than a lovely copy in a slipcase? The book is bound in red buckram cloth, with decorations based on Edmund Dulac's design for ‘My Days With the Fairies’ by Mrs. R. Stawell. On the front cover is an elfin-like character in gilt sitting on a cloud beneath a vine of beautiful pale lilac and pink flowers. The spine is also decorated with gilt, pale lilac and pink, picturing what to me looks like a chandelier, with a gilt cockerel at the base of the spine. |
