my fairytale book recommendations + book shopping
Just a little random fairytale and folklore book collection - at least, my favorites from my collection, which is too extensive to share today. In this video I will highlight books that excite my imagination and inspire me to go outdoors, explore, and find beauty in ordinary things. Hope this adds a touch of magic and whimsy to your day!

"When I was ten, I read fairy tales in secret and would have been ashamed if I had been found doing so. Now that I am fifty I read them openly. When I became a man I put away childish things, including the fear of childishness and the desire to be very grown up.” *-C.S. Lewis*

@nette49 10 ай бұрын

When I was a little girl, I read every type of fairy book I could. I fantasized about being a fairy and living in a large hollowed out tree with a spiral staircase! I am 74, and still love stories about fairies and folklore. I love the idea of mermaids and love the beach also!

Books have always been among my best friends. They have taught me so much over seven decades. They were always there to prop me up during many very difficult times. They have made me laugh and cry. They have taken my mind off my worries. They were there when I was homesick in the Navy. They were there after everyone had left---loss of love, divorce, and loss of my son. From their bookshelves, they stand guard even as I sleep.

@rrhines3151 Жыл бұрын

I must comment when you mentioned how books 📚 have been your constant companions all your life… I learned as a child the type of person I wouldn’t become because of what I observed, how unkind people can be, and this microcosm of existence must be escaped! Books offered me the opportunity to learn of distant lands, champions of the human spirit and autobiographies of people who DID change the world ❤ We grew up in similar time periods… I just wanted to reach out to you to say you have a kindred spirit in this community Paola has created! I suspect we all share more similarities than differences 🌎

@wldhearth Жыл бұрын

Books were also companions for me as a child; and, yes, they are still companions to me even now. I learned so much about one's character and growth - basically, who I aspired to be as I got older. I traveled to different lands and became immersed in different life paths and backgrounds. Books are timeless.

@@donnawatson845 Thank you, Donna. Thank God for books when Josh passed in 2014. (36 y/o only child) His Maine Coon cat was a comfort for the next seven years. Willy 'left to play with Josh' on 3/6/21. What a cat! I would lie on my bed reading. (Willy was rather needy and chose me as his therapy person.) As I read, he would shove his head under my book. Then he would try to suck on my neck. When you're single, you probably wouldn't want cat hickeys on your neck. (Married guys probably wouldn't care. HI!) I went to the shelter for many months after Willy "escaped'. One day a volunteer asked, "Didn't you find a forever friend yet?" I pouted and said, "No one picked me yet..." Nighty-night, Donna.

@@rrhines3151 This site provides a nice escape from day-to-day concerns. Many interesting people in our 'new neighborhood'. Each day I visit 'my coffee shop' in Bay City, Mi. I like to read while enjoying a cup of black coffee. The young employees often tease me about my am/fm/cassette radio with earbuds, a pad of paper, a good eraser, and a dictionary. I've never owned a cellphone. Since 2014, I've read hundreds of books and the young people have filled a huge void after I lost my son, Josh. For Christmas, the girls gave me eight gift-wrapped books to read. Another girl left last week to get married so I had to send another 'daughter' out into the world. In the seventies, I read a lot of Thoreau, R. W. Emerson, Kahlil Gibran, and many of his books. Later Edison, Einstein, Nikola Tesla, James Allen, Wallace Wattles, Charles Haanel, and Walter Russell. Many thought Russell was the smartest man in the world. Einstein did. He discovered and built so many things. He excelled in all the arts. Painter, sculptor, horse breeder, architect, and musician. He brought figure skating to America. He left school at the age of ten. He said it was the best thing he ever did. He gave piano lessons at the age of ten to earn money. He never had lessons. He said 'Everything came from above.' According to the Myers-Briggs test, I am an INFP. Interesting and it seems to hold out. Enjoy your evening. Nighty-night!

I love books and I worry about the day when people will no longer hold a physical book in their hands. What a loss that would be with everything becoming digital. I even miss the daily newspaper. Some things can never be replaced and books are in that category. What a joy to cuddle up on a cold night with a lovely book of your choice. Thanks for sharing your favorites! P.S. I am a Romantic at Heart so I love a good love story. Also enjoy poetry and biographies. Kahlil Gibran is my favorite poet. My favorite book of his is The Prophet. Very profound but relatable advice beautifully expressed.

Super recommendations! I know you have a ton on your plate, but have you ever considered doing a reading video for children or…reading for audio books??? I hear the excitement in your voice as you tell about each book and not everyone has that spark! My children loved to be read to at night but now with the digital age upon us, I think tuning into a channel to hear about fairytales and wonder and the soothing tones of your voice, would allow any child to dream of magical things all night. One of my favorite quotes, “Some day you will be old enough to start reading fairytales again.” _C.S. Lewis 🧚‍♀️ 📚🕯️✨ Thank you for your enchanting channel! 🥰

Thank you for this little video, and I really enjoyed it. I have ordered The Wolf and the Whale book, as I have always felt some sort of link to Inuit folk. I had a Northern Inuit dog for a little while, called Chaska, who was so like a beautiful grey wolf, with blue eyes, and he was the sweetest nature. I have always loved wolves, and I love fairies too! I am 66 year young, and when walking Madge, my black rescue greyhound, I sometimes see those wonderful dragonflies with the blue bodies, and I feel they are fairies, and I always talk to them, and to the butterflies and bees! We need to feed the child within us, and stay forever young, as you do Paola. Would love to have a video on your animals, and hope that your husband has been able to make that rabbit enclosure outside you mentioned a while back? Thank you again for this lovely video. Blessings and hugs to you, from Jilly & Madge in West Devon, England. xxx

So please, continue to make these type of videos. 🥰 Currently, I am focused on James Herriot. I am enjoying "Treasure for Children: Warm and joyful tales by the author of Every Living Thing. The illustrations by Ruth Brown and Peter Barrett are beautifully done. I also found a video titled "Young James Herriot the early life and education of the beloved British Vet by De Caestecker Lain. What a special young man. From his young life I saw a young man with a pure heart deeply desirous to help animals AND people. He also faced a darkness that is truly eye-opening too that not everyone shares that same belief.

Thank you for sharing!💖 I truly needed some heart-warming books recommendation because I’m having soon an academic translation project that I need to choose a book for. That was very helpful💓.

Love these kinds of videos, and the fairy handbook is adorable, I got it for my niece for Christmas last year, it’s got gorgeous photos in it too!!

I think that with your imagination and the beautiful drawings you make, there are certainly several stories you can write yourself....

Thank you, dear Paola! I love several of these recommendations and have added some to my list of books. I certainly enjoy the more bookish side of things and will be looking forward to more if you find joy in making these types of videos. Hope you are in good health and doing well, best wishes to you

I read The Crane Husband by Kelly Barnhill this year. It’s a retelling of the Japanese folktale The Crane Wife. Her retelling is dark. I love Barnhill’s children’s books. I am so glad she is writing for adults. I also enjoyed the fractured fairy tales of Alix Harrow. She wrote the 10,000 Doors of January and The Once and Future Witches. Her fairytales series are short novellas that begins with A Spindle Splintered.

Thank you so much for this book series. Maybe you could recommend books about crafts, gardening, nature?

The best friend in your live are books. I would have liked to live in a world of books. Unfortunately, these days we don't see TV shows about books anymore. No one recommends a book anymore. Every time when I need some peace, I am watching your videos. Thank you Paola for your videos.

Im excited to read your lost here! Thank you for sharing! Howl's Moving Castle and the other books in the series is awesome. I adored Emily Wilde's Encyclopedia of Faeries❤ One book kind of similar for others who like a book like this is Jonathan Strange and Mr Norrell. Not as cosy but more of a hefty epic with magicians and the Napoleonic wars😂
