Complete Special Edition set

LOVE, LOVE LOVE This beautiful hardback edition, so beautifully designed and illustrated. Love the story, a wonderful refreshing take on a classic fairy-tale. I fell in love with the story and characters from the first page. Its a truly unique story, highlighting that "fairy-tale happy endings" doesnt have to fit a specific mold. Love the heroine, and how she breaks the mold on the typical fairy tale, and writes her own story.

I really enjoyed this satirical take on the fairy tales we all grew up with! It was heartwarming and great fun.

I loved it! I couldn't put it down! The characters are all brilliant! I even love the wet sock! And it has PICTURES! I wasn't even done with chapter 4 and was telling all of my book friends that they should read it. Can't wait for number 2!

I picked this up when I needed perking up from a sad blip and it absolutely did the trick! I love how it all twisted together at the end for the rules and how it stuck to being her story and not overtaken by a man. Can’t wait for the second book!

Absolutely loved the story. It was cozy, different and funny. The artwork is absolutely stunning and I kept reading, giddy to find the next artwork. It was a perfect combination. I loved the vibe. A truly relaxing read. Very well written.

Gorgeous book! The story is riveting and well written.

One of the prettiest books I've ever gotten! I'm so excited to read it, it seems like such a fun book! And it was so well packed! Nothing could have harmed this book in Shipping and I really appreciated the care and thought that went into every part of this book!

This book is even more stunning in person! The artwork is incredible! I’m so excited to read it.

This is EVERYTHING that a special edition novel should be! 10/10

This book is so beautiful! I can’t wait to read it!

Beautiful book and the process of purchase was easy. Looking forward to future purchases

The book’s beauty caught my eye on TikTok. I love off beat fairy tales so I thought I’d give it a try. I was hooked at the Prologue.

This is the cutest book ever! I am so happy with it, and the illustrations are stunning.

Beautiful book great cover, the story is very entertaining and keeps you wanting more one of my wife's favorite authors.

Beautiful and hilarious. Love the tweist to Cinderella.

I just began reading it, and im enjoying it so far! The illustrations and cover art are 💘💘!!

I first experienced Once Upon a Thyme as an ebook, and I adored it so much that I simply had to own the deluxe hardcover. It wasn’t an impulse purchase—it was a book that earned a permanent place on my shelves, and after seeing the care that had gone into this edition, I knew it would become a forever favourite.

This is, without question, one of the most beautiful special editions I’ve ever added to my collection. Every detail has been thoughtfully crafted—from the breathtaking dust jacket and illustrated case beneath it to the stunning sprayed edges, full-colour endpapers, and gorgeous artwork woven throughout the book. It’s the kind of edition that invites you to slow down, savour every page, and admire it long after you’ve finished reading. The quality exceeded my expectations in every way.

As for the story itself, it was every bit as charming as its presentation. Celine Jeanjean takes familiar fairy-tale tropes and joyfully turns them on their head, creating a world that is whimsical, witty, and full of heart. The humour had me smiling throughout, the characters were delightfully memorable, and beneath all the playful chaos was a genuinely touching story about embracing who you are rather than who the world expects you to be.

The illustrations elevate the experience even further. Rather than feeling like extras, they become part of the storytelling, making the world feel richer and more immersive with every chapter. By the time I reached the final page, I wasn’t just impressed by how beautiful the book was—I was reminded exactly why I’d fallen in love with the story the first time I read it.

If you’re considering the deluxe edition, don’t hesitate. If the ebook made me fall in love with the story, this edition made me fall in love with owning it. It’s a keepsake as much as it is a novel, and one of those rare books that feels every bit as magical in your hands as the story does in your imagination.

I had an issue with the cover so emailed Celine and got a personal message back right away offering to send a brand new cover. Impressive customer service!

Beautiful! The artwork is stunning, and the quality is amazing!!!

The book looks so nice on my bookself. I just wish the post office was a little more careful with the orders so the book dont get bent or dented. Other than that the book is beautiful. It will be my next read once i finish my other book.
