Greetings Gentle Reader from the Land of Whimsical! We’ve Got Books For Your Budget. Starting TODAY, February 22nd and going until the 25th, we will be running our Almost Spring sale! For three days, use… More
It’s Here! It’s Here! In all its Wonderland craziness!
Door: Why it’s simply impassible!
Alice: Why, don’t you mean impossible?
Door: No, I do mean impassible. (chuckles) Nothing’s impossible!
~ Lewis Carroll, Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland
Our Whimsical Classic Collection is growing!
If you had told us ten years ago that we’d be making wacky, WONDERfully colourful editions like this one of our favourite classics… Well, we might have been much like Alice! But apparently, as the Door says, “Nothing’s impossible!” 🎉
It’s here, it’s here! In all its Wonderland craziness and you can now preorder this exclusive edition from our site. This dust jacketed hardcover, with art and design by our very own Micheline Ryckman, includes interior illustrations, and during the preorder period you have the option of ordering this edition with sprayed edges (as shown)!!!
This edition is only available in our shop.
The first 20 orders will receive the bookmark pictured below for free* (shipped separately). And if you buy during the preorder period, you’ll have the option to get your copy with gorgeous striped sprayed edges!
The sprayed edge option will only be available during the preorder period, which ends on release day April 21st, 2026.
This is a PREORDER. Any items purchased with this book will be held and shipped together when this book is released on April 21, 2026.
“I can’t explain myself, I’m afraid, sir,” said Alice, “Because I’m not myself, you see.”
~~~
When Alice sees a white rabbit take a watch out of its waistcoat pocket she decides to follow it, and a sequence of most unusual events is set in motion.
Lewis Carroll’s works are in the public domain in Canada and can be printed without copyright infringement.

Charting Stars (audiobook)
Micheline Ryckman
A girl thrown between worlds. A prophecy untold. An unexpected romance. A quest for home.
Stargazer and artist Talia Benson never wanted an adventure. The titles of student, dutiful daughter, and crazy cat lady suited her just fine. But when she’s swept into an unknown world where sentient animals exist, monsters roam, and angelic beings sway fate, she’s forced to adjust to adventuring as she embarks on a quest to return to her quiet Canadian life.
Released November 18, 2025
Persuasion
Jane Austen
Filled with Jane Austen’s trademark wit, Persuasion is both a delightful romantic comedy and a surprisingly subversive exploration of our need to persuade, and be persuaded by, others.
Released October 7, 2025
A Child of the Changeling
McKenzie Catron
Only three witches remain, and they are desperate to survive.
A decade has passed since The Numina were released from The Between. And despite all efforts, the lands are not only crawling with mutated bogies, but also a mysterious, witch-borne illness called the Stygian Brume. If these problems were not enough, an unexpected darkness enters the glade, one that tears Sparrow and Rush’s family apart. Now, confronted with unspeakable loss, their eldest children are forced to retrace not only the steps of their parents before them, but their aunts as well.

The Audiobook We’ve ALL Been Waiting For! Plus a Surprise Product Drop!
The time has FINALLY arrived, Whimsies! The book that started it all – Charting Stars – is an audiobook!
Narrated by the talented Lauren Amanda, it is available for purchase NOW through Audible! And we suggest saving your membership credits because it’s currently on sale for less than $10! So snag it quick! We have no idea how long this sale will last.
If you’d like to apply for a free review copy, head over to NetGalley and request one. We can’t give a copy to everyone (I know, I know, we really wish we could!), but if you’re lucky, you might get approved!
Either way, once you’ve listened, we would absolutely love your feedback! Reviews are welcome and appreciated on Amazon/Audible, Goodreads, or anywhere else you feel like sharing.
We hope you are just as excited as we are about this news. And we haven’t forgotten we promised you a surprise!
That’s right, friends, starting tomorrow, we are offering a new and unique piece of Whimsical merch every day until December 17th!
Each day, we will launch a new product featuring Whimsical artwork. Products range from household use, wearables, decorations, and more! A sneak peek is below, but make sure to follow our Instagram for each daily product drop!
These will only be available for preorder on our website, and once the event concludes on the 17th, we will order your items to be sent directly to you from the manufacturers. Please note these will NOT arrive in time for Christmas.
Questions? Feel free to message us on our Instagram or just reply to this email. We love hearing from our whimsies!
Cyber Monday EXTENDED! These Books are Going FAST! Books as low as $9!
You all have been so enthusiastic about our Black Friday sale, so we want to keep it going!
For this extended sale, only the books we have in hand are discounted! What does that even mean, though?
You may remember that a while back, we announced that we are switching to shipping books directly from our printer. So the books we’re discounting are ONLY the ones we have left in hand with our Shop Manager. How will you know if it’s in hand or not? Purchases from the two listings below are everything we still have in hand!
Scratch & Dent – Slightly Damaged or Discontinued editions
Cyber Monday In Hand Books – All remaining stock of undamaged copies
Using code FLAMINGO will save you 30% off the already discounted prices. Our books have never been this cheap (and will never be again!) This sale will end on Friday or when we sell out of books! Whichever comes first!
All orders will come with free postcards and a free bookmark.
And YES, this also counts for our in-stock coloring books!
Remember to enter this coupon at checkout!
