CLOSED Trailer Reveal + Giveaway: The Girl Who Fell Beneath Fairyland and Led the Revels There

If you follow me on Twitter, you may recall how completely in love I was with a trailer that debuted last year for Catherynne M. Valente's The Girl Who Circumnavigated Fairyland in a Ship of Her Own Making. Everything about it took over my brain - the simplicity, the striking illustrations, and above all, that fantastic original song by S.J. Tucker.  That trailer remains one of my all-time favorites (seriously. If you haven't watched the trailer, you should); and it holds up just as well after having read (and fallen in love with) the book.

I tell you all of this so that you understand how geeked I am to share with you the trailer for book 2, The Girl Who Fell Beneath Fairyland, and Led the Revels There, as well as giveaway a set of both books!! Once again featuring striking illustrations and more fantastic music by S.J. Tucker, if this doesn't want to make you read the book, I don't know what will.

Check it out below, and let me know what you think (and if you're excited for this book) in the comments, and make sure to enter to win a copy of both books in the form below!!



About the book:
The Girl Who Fell Beneath Fairyland and Led the Revels There by Catherynne M. Valente
Amazon | Goodreads
Fantasy, 272 pages
Expected publication: October 2nd 2012 by Feiwel & Friends
September has longed to return to Fairyland after her first adventure there. And when she finally does, she learns that its inhabitants have been losing their shadows—and their magic—to the world of Fairyland Below. This underworld has a new ruler: Halloween, the Hollow Queen, who is September’s shadow. And Halloween does not want to give Fairyland’s shadows back.

Fans of Valente’s bestselling, first Fairyland book will revel in the lush setting, characters, and language of September’s journey, all brought to life by fine artist Ana Juan. Readers will also welcome back good friends Ell, the Wyverary, and the boy Saturday. But in Fairyland Below, even the best of friends aren’t always what they seem. . . .


***GIVEAWAY***
To celebrate the trailer release, thanks to the awesome folks at Macmillan, I have a paperback copy of The Girl Who Circumnavigated Fairyland in a Ship of Her Own Making AND 1 galley of the sequel, The Girl Who Fell Beneath Fairyland and Led the Revels There to giveaway to 1 lucky winner!

    I saw Cat Valente read from the second Fairyland book while I was in NYC earlier this summer, and I am hooked on her writing. I haven't read either of the Fairyland books yet, but "Deathless" and "Silently and Very Fast" are some of my all-time favorites.

    Really looking forward to this book! Every story that Cat weaves is absolutely brilliant and spine-tingling awesome. Oh, and that lovely mistress who sings during the trailer? S.J. Tucker? A true Goddess of song, who shares equal love for Cat and her works. Look forward to getting lost in Fairyland again!

    That trailer was great. It is wonderful of you to host such a giveaway. I think I will have to pick these books up for my niece and nephews. They could use something a bit off the Disneypath.

    I bought the first of these two books a few weeks ago when I discovered BookCloseouts through your series of hauls! I haven't read it yet cause my TBR pile is out of control but it looks AMAZING and I love the trailer! If I win this I'll be able to share the first book with a friend and read the second book, whee! Thank you for doing this giveaway, Misty. :)

    OMGSOEXCITED. I love how rich Fairyland is, but also how it doesn't talk down to children. This book really trusts kids. I wish I'd had a book like this when I was September's age. It's brilliant.

    Cat Valente has this amazing ability to describe the world in such a way that makes you feel like you are really there. Even her "children's books" have such a wide readership because of how wonderful, fun, amazing, creative, and whimsical her stories are.

    I've read all of her books that I can get my grubby little paws on and I am waiting with baited breath for the next installment of Fairyland.

    Thanks for this giveaway. Both trailers are great and I am looking forward to reading both books. I actually checked out the first book from the library but I didn't get a chance to read it before the lending period expired. It would be great to be able to read the books back-to-back.

    I still haven't read the first one in this series but I'm sure if I won the second I would be motivated to buy a copy of the first and read it. I don't think a e-book will cut it for me on this one.

    I want it more for the picture than anything else!
