May is probably the most gorgeous month here in the south and it makes everything feel so hopeful. And magical — as if anything is possible! If the world can burst into flowers and green green green, what isn’t possible? And we are going to be talking about that – magic and enchantment— for the next months!
We are less than six months away from the publication of Once Upon a Wardrobe! And we are going to have a grand time these months preparing for the book with conversations, giveaways, and even a The Lion The Witch and The Wardrobe book club! (keep your ears and eyes open for details!)
What is a fairy tale? And why do they affect us the way they do? And where do they come from? And how and why do they get passed down for so many generations, working their way into our hearts and minds? I can’t wait to talk about all of this.
Meanwhile, our first blurbs for Once Upon a Wardrobe are rolling in and I am so honored for this one by the indomitable Kristin Harmel, the NYT bestseller of The Book of Lost Names.
“With a touch of fairy tale magic, Once Upon a Wardrobe will take you behind the legend and deep into the English and Irish countryside, where you’ll encounter not only the inspirations for one of the 20th century’s most beloved works, but also a tale of heartache, hope, and discovery that will forever change the Narnia you thought you knew.” —Kristin Harmel, New York Times bestselling author of The Forest of Vanishing Stars

Honors the late Dorothea Benton Frank
Now a New York Times Bestseller! Buy the Book
ATLANTA JOURNAL CONSTITUTION BOOKSHELF | May 4, 2021 By Suzanne Van Atten Frank’s fans were legion, but so were her friends. Many of them are writers who adored Dottie, as they called her, for her gregarious nature, her witty humor and her warm, Southern hospitality. “Dottie, when she loves, she didn’t love you a little bit,” said Patti Callahan, author of “Surviving Savannah.” “If she loved you, she loved you big. You were part of her family. She checked on you. She helped your kids. She gave you advice, even if you didn’t want it. She was such a big spirit.”
