Alma Books Giveaway – The Little Prince
Giveaway now closed et voici les résultats! Douze points pour Rhi P and Angi Holden. Félicitations! Alma Books will send the books directly to you within the next few weeks…at which stage I will hopefully be gazing over the rooftops of Paris.
This year Alma Books has branched out by venturing into the realm of Children’s and YA Fiction. Soon you will have the “pleasure” of reading my review of Madame Tussaud’s Apprentice, one of the frontrunners in the YA stable but, to keep you going in the meantime, I am delighted to give my UK readers the opportunity to win a copy of a new translation of The Little Prince. Targeted at ages 7-11, this edition will appeal to dreamers of all ages…if I could I would enter!
So allons-y with le nitty gritty ( I can actually speak French, as some of you know..)
