![]() ![]() This time around, it’s SO HARD to pick a favourite item. I usually start my unboxings with my favourite item and then slowly rank them, until I end with the book, which is usually my favourite. What are the odds, right? However, this was a very strong box and I absolutely LOVE everything in it. Until I FINALLY read it at the beginning of April. When FairyLoot announced they would do a special edition box I literally SCREAMED! And then it finally came and I was so excited, but Queen of Nothing ended up on my bookshelf, waiting and waiting to be read. The The Folk of the Air series has been one of my recent favourites and I had been waiting for Queen of Nothing to be released since like 5 days after The Wicked King was released. The only FairyLoot box I have been excited for in a long long long time is the Queen of Nothing special edition box. ![]() ![]() Ransome kept Swallow until he sold it a number of years later, while Mavis remained in the Altounyan family and is now on permanent display in the Ruskin Museum. ![]() Ransome and Ernest Altounyan bought two small dinghies called Swallow and Mavis.
