A family emergency will prevent Ms. Andrews from visiting on Sunday, May 23, as had been planned originially. Instead, the event has been rescheduled to Sunday, July 11, 2pm. If you purchased tickets for the May 23 event, your tickets are all still valid for the autographing.  We are still planning to distribute the books at the July 11 event. Please let us know if you have any questions. We are currently sold out of tickets for this event.

This event is an autographing only. TICKETS are required for this event and are available at all Books & Books locations, while supplies last. Your purchase of The Very Fairy Princess ($16.99 + tax) entitles you to receive one (1) ticket for the autographing line. Your book may be redeemed at the event and you must show your ticket and attached receipt in order to enter the signing line. This is an autographing only and only copies of The Very Fairy Princess will be signed. Ms. Andrews will not be able to personalize or sign memorabilia. Photos and video will not be permitted, so please leave your cameras at home.

Julie Andrews Edwards is one of the most recognized and beloved figures in the entertainment industry. Her legendary career encompasses the Broadway and London stages, blockbuster Hollywood films, award-winning television shows, multiple album releases and concert tours and the world of children's publishing.

Andrews' dedication to children has been steadfast throughout her career. She began writing books for young readers over thirty-five years ago and her first two novels - Mandy and The Last of the Really Great Whangdoodles - remain in print and in high demand. Her other books include the Little Bo series, and an additional 15 picture books, novels and Early Readers co-authored with her daughter, Emma Walton Hamilton, including the best-selling Dumpy the Dump Truck series, Simeon’s Gift, Dragon: Hound of Honor, The Great American Musical and Thanks to You: Wisdom from Mother and Child.

Together the best-selling mother-daughter team head-up "The Julie Andrews Collection" publishing program, formerly with HarperCollins Publishers and now with Little, Brown Books for Young Readers, dedicated to publishing "quality children's books which nurture the imagination and cultivate a sense of wonder."

The main character in their newest collaboration, The Very Fairy Princess, is Geraldine. While her friends and family may not believe in fairies, Geraldine knows, deep down, that she is a VERY fairy princess. From morning to night, Gerry does everything that fairy princesses do: she dresses in her royal attire, practices her flying skills, and she is always on the lookout for problems to solve. But it isn't all twirls and tiaras - as every fairy princess knows, dirty fingernails and scabby knees are just the price you pay for a perfect day!

This new picture book features the joyful illustrations of Christine Davenier, and is sure to inspire that sparkly feeling within the hearts of readers young and old.
