St. Martin's Griffin Romantic Country: The Second Tale: A Fantasy Coloring Book

لقد اعجب الاطفال به

This is a beautiful colouring book and I was thrilled to receive it. I love the books by Johanna Basford and until recently I hadn’t found any I liked as much, but this series is lovely. They are set in an imaginary land named Cocot. It is a beautiful place full of fairy-tale castles and windmills, lakes and forests. I especially like the ducks and cats that appear on most pages and the bookshop. There is a charm and quirkiness to the drawings in these books and when colouring them they remind me of the illustrations in a children’s picture book being brought to life with colour.I love this second book even more than the first as it is so magical and detailed. There are scenes with mermaids, unicorns, fairies and witches. It really captures the imagination and lends itself to experimenting with colour, gel pens and even embellishments. The paper is also of good quality. I would recommend having a look at this book on you tube, as you can see how gorgeous it is page by page. There are some fantastic examples of finished pages on Pinterest that will give you inspiration if you are an amateur like me! If you like Johanna Basford’s Enchanted Forest (my personal favourite) this will probably appeal to you. I am eager for the publication of the third book in May.

I have all 3 of the books in the series and I love them...you will not be disappointed. Paper is good quality and I have used pencil and watercolour brush pens... No visible change to the paper and no bleed through...not sure about permanent markers ...I haven't tried them yet.

I wasn’t sure I was going to like this book at first since the style is different to my usual and the lines are grey rather than black but I’ve actually loved it and love all the artwork. I’d like to get the other two in the series at some point. The paper is thick and good quality and the book is sturdy and feels great quality also.

In love with these books. Got all 3 at once as I knew I would like them. Beautiful pictures

I'm extremely disappointed with this book. The pages are all biege/yellow, not the lovely stark white you get with other colouring books. It looks like it's been sat on a warehouse shelf for decades and the images are very poorly printed. I'm very upset that I paid so much for such a dismal colouring book. I would say 'steer clear and don't buy'.
