Etsy Finds: Bookish Gifts - Literary Emporium

I love looking for new fandom sellers on Etsy, there are just so many amazing creators making items from bookmarks to candles and everything else you can possibly think of. I've brought from a few of them over the last few years but for some reason I've never got around to reviewing the products here on my blog. I thought it was about time I changed that so keep an eye out for some random Etsy Finds posts over the next few months. I'll start by posting about products I've purchased but I'll probably branch out onto items on my wish list later on.

Today I want to talk about the store Literary Emporium (I originally purchased from their Etsy store but I've also bought directly from their website). They sell all kinds of fabulous literary products that make perfect gifts for fellow bookworms (or even as a treat for yourself!). You'll find items inspired by all sorts of classics from Shakespeare, Jane Austen, Margaret Atwood, Virginia Woolf and so many more authors and they sell all kinds of things including Jewellery, Enamel Pins, Notebooks, Pencils, Clothing and more.

I'm a HUGE Alice in Wonderland fan so that's what drew me to the shop in the first place, they have the cutest Alice items as you can see below.

I love this cute little notebook and the socks are adorable

These pencils are brilliant too!

They don't seem to have this notebook on sale any more 

but you can buy these fun bookish pencils

There are a lot of enamel pins for collectors to choose from but 

I couldn't resist this "Go Away I'm Reading" pin

Then there's this bookish necklace with a quote from Jane Austen

I've included links to each of the items above but you can buy all sorts of goodies from the Literary Emporium Etsy Store or directly from their website.

In the interest of clarity this was NOT a sponsored post (I will always mention it when I receive products for review). I purchased these items for myself and did not receive a discount or compensation for reviewing them here.

Review: Alice's Adventures in Wonderland Carousel Book - Lewis Carroll & John Tenniel

This gorgeous edition of Lewis Carroll's famous children's classic is a fabulous book that opens out into a carousel shape, showing Alice's Adventures in Wonderland in six visually enchanting 3-dimensional scenes. Using original artwork by Sir John Tenniel and an abridged version of Lewis Carroll's original text, Alice's Adventures in Wonderland Carousel Book is a delightful introduction to the story for younger readers.

Peep into the story as Alice falls down the rabbit hole, grows and shrinks, meets the Cheshire Cat, joins the Mad Hatter's Tea Party, plays croquet with the Duchess, and attends the trial of the Knave of Hearts.

Visit The Lewis Carroll Society website for more information.

Review:
I'm such a huge fan of Alice's Adventures in Wonderland and this really is a gorgeous edition. The book opens out into a Carousel shape made up of six three dimensional scenes from the story. At only six double pages it doesn't include the full text of the story but each scene has a few lines of text which tell the main events related to that illustration.

You'll find all of your favourite characters in here from Alice and the White Rabbit to the Cheshire Cat, the caterpillar, the guests of the Mad Hatter's tea party and the Queen of Hearts with her playing card courtiers.

This is a lovely book to read with children or even to display on your shelves and I spot something new every time I look at the illustrations. I'll include a few pictures below to give you an idea what to expect:
