Oh, another wonderful video, lovely books and music! I would love to get my hands on any of these, but they are too expensive for me second-hand. ( At least, I comfort myself with having his Folio Society Blue Fairy Book and The Wind in the Willows.) It's great to see them here, do make more videos on them, if you can :D They look like they were made with so much love.

Thanks so much! Yes, they are all very beautifully made - often hand-sewn (one of the ones I have is actually tied together with rainbow ribbons!). I have been collecting them for years and the release prices are really reasonable (at least - *much* more reasonable than the second hand prices!), so if you are ever interested you should take a look at some of the Canadian art galleries that sell them for him. There's usually a new one every year. (I actually found my copy of Guide to the Little People for $5 in a second-hand store, so you never know your luck if you keep an eye out...)

Thank you for the tip, I'll be sure to keep my eye out for those galleries, and yeah, never say never. :D

Most of Charles' books are sold through art galleries in Canada, or only available second hand if you're looking for older volumes. The easiest way to find them is probably through ABEs - start here and see what's in your price range: bit.ly/Sandwyk

So sad that those books doesn't exists anymore and that they're so expensive:( I mean they're so pretty and limited edition but 750€ for one book woooow I'm so sad

Yes, these originals are very expensive now! However, the Folio Society have some beautifully made collections available that you could check out if you’re interested?
