The eras of fashion are wrong on several of them and Mary Stewart heroines were not prissy or particularly posh. Some were in reduced circumstances and slightly shabby initially. Working as a governess or in a coffee house and dressy like the cover of British Vogue……it doesn’t work for me.

Someone's probably gonna go and bring that into real life as a brand, since there are more accessible venues for getting a trademark nowadays. <br /><br /><a href="http://www.uktrademarkregistration.co.uk/copyright-name/Trademark-Company-Name-and-Name-Copyright-Advice.aspx" rel="nofollow">UkTradeMarkRegistration.co.uk</a>Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14214260747034240846noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7914914918754760281.post-22777077850832898352012-03-16T06:46:51.163-07:002012-03-16T06:46:51.163-07:00"Thornyhold" and "The Stormy Petrel..."Thornyhold" and "The Stormy Petrel" were great novels which I reread.

I'm looking forward to reading these! I want to collect all of these books - just 9 more to go until I have the entire set. :) So glad our local bookstore here in the Philippines carry these titles.Chachichttp://chachic.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7914914918754760281.post-56560138356295175282011-08-21T20:57:34.531-07:002011-08-21T20:57:34.531-07:00I noticed the name "Griffin" on some of ...I noticed the name "Griffin" on some of the covers of Fawcett Crest books and was curious about this artist. I think it was Rick Griffin, who became well known especially for Grateful Dead album covers and concert posters. None of the biographies I found online mention Stewart books, but an ad for a Phyllis Whitney book claims to have a Rick Griffin cover. The signature and style are the same as on the Stewart covers. By the way, my Stewart covers have yet to be posted!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7914914918754760281.post-4188503100479000142011-08-21T06:20:55.441-07:002011-08-21T06:20:55.441-07:00If anyone wants to buy these new editions, The Boo...If anyone wants to buy these new editions, The Book People (Google that name) is selling ten for £9.99<br /><br />Even if you only wanted a couple, it's still worth it.Tighttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04786331256157193919noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7914914918754760281.post-35148936293788066332011-07-13T12:53:22.220-07:002011-07-13T12:53:22.220-07:00My sis and I absolutely adore Mary Stewart!

And we started snapping up the books with these covers once they started coming out:) They seem mysterious and chick-litty at the same time, and for some reason that really does it for me:) <br /><br />Btw, if you want to read a review of 'This Rough Magic', pls feel free to see my post: http://isabellaamaris.blogspot.com/2011/07/this-rough-magic-by-mary-stewart-book.html<br /><br />Sadly, it's the only review I've done of Stewart's books so far, but this book was the first of hers that I read, so it's no surprise that I still love it so much.<br /><br />Hmmm, I'm so glad I found this blog! I shall be visiting often. Cheers, and will return soon:)Isabella Amarishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17334922448048534161noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7914914918754760281.post-2774868455890271062011-06-30T07:30:17.484-07:002011-06-30T07:30:17.484-07:00Great website!
