Who is ready for some Wilkie enthusiasm? Who am I kidding? You all are!
In November I shamefully let my two year blog anniversary slip by without notice, but now, with Christmas on the horizon, I've decided it's time to do a special something for the lovely people who stick by me through thick and thin (that's you, by the way). I've gathered together two of my favourite Wilkie-related reads and a beautiful notebook to giveaway to one lucky person.
First up is an edition of The Woman in White that I've been eying up for the longest time. It's red, it's mysterious and there is some beautiful typography. Then there is Peter Ackroyd's biography of the man himself. I read this last year and found it the perfect accompaniment to Wilkie's novels. It's not too long, there is humour and plenty of little anecdotes that are sure to interest even the most reluctant Wilkie-lover. Finally there is a lovely old-school design notebook to document your Wilkie journey in. Interested? Go ahead and fill in the rafflecopter below.
Best of luck!
