Fairytales & Folklore Colouring Book Review | Reprint of Sagor Och Sägner by Emelie Lidehäll Öberg

It's so lovely to see inside the book and your beautiful coloured pages.Cant wait to get mine ❤

I've had a copy on pre order for a while now. I can't wait for it to ship 😀

So proud to have put my name to the petition…congratulations Claire! ❤️

I hope I can get my hands on a copy

Hello😊. You color so beautifully. I have not cored in a long time. I have a whole studio with every kind of media you can think of but I just won't pick anything up.
I will never be able to color such stunning pages like you do!!!

Please could you link the tutorials you did on the book please

Just gorgeous. Can’t wait!!

Glad to see this. I am going to get it because the art looks interesting and I WILL support actual illustrators. I am so sick of AI books, they all look the same and I refuse to buy those.

Thank you so so much for helping to get this book back into print Claire, it wouldn’t have happened without you 🤩. I was so happy to sign your petition, I’ve wanted this book for the longest time 😍. I preordered it straight away on Amazon UK and now that I see it, it’s even more beautiful than I thought it would be. I can’t wait to receive my copy!!!! Well done Emelie and Better Day Books, you’ve done an outstanding job with this book, it’s a real treasure 💖

CONGRATULATIONS ❤I WANT THIS BOOK 😊

Well done! Your forward was beautifully written and obviously we love Emeiles illustrations! I cannot wait for my copy to arrive ❤

Amazing! Congrats on getting the book reprinted and having the honor of doing a foreword in a popular and much loved book! ❤😊 thank you for resurrecting this book for us. Appreciate it so much. Cant wait for my pre order to arrive. ❤😊

Has she considered doing a new book?

your work is so beautiful and vibrant. i will look through your videos to find some color alongs ( for help and inspiration)

I’m so excited for this book I’ve pre ordered it on your link for early bird and on amazon Australia so I have 2 copies one for me and my mum

Congrats on this accomplishment!!

Just to clarify, are you saying the new green cover fairytales and folklore coloring book is a duplicate to her original one, this hardback that you were showing in the video? Is every page the same? I have that original book but I can’t seem to figure out if this fairytale and folklore is also including new pages.

Hi Claire, I was wondering if you could please help with getting the mousegaurd book brought back. I've seen it on eBay second hand, but at very expensive prices. I missed out on that book. If you could please look into it for me, I would appreciate it. Thanks, Samantha Xx

What a beautiful forward Claire! What a wonderful book! Amazing to have such great quality paper. Such a shame there are no descriptions of the fairytales and folklore - that would've given it so much more meaning and even help inform colour choices etc.

This will be the first time to see this book. I preordered it earlier in the year when, I believe, you had been talking about it. I am so glad you did this flip through and the side by sides of the ones you have done previously. This book is gorgeous and since I live in the US I will not be getting it until August but it is going to be well worth the wait . I am sooooo excited about its arrival. Thank you for the flip through again.

You wrote a truly wonderful foreword! I pre-ordered the book, I'm beyond excited for it! 😍🥰

Thank you for this! I'm so excited to get this book! I have the original, but due to arthritis I can't do pencil work. I'm trying to use watercolor mediums and it works ok. Though at times I still get damaged paper even with very little water. It sounds like this paper will be much better suited to water mediums 😊 I'm looking forward to having a new copy to play with!

I just received my early bird copy.
Holy cow. This paper!!!

I can't thank you enough for organizing this! I had been looking for it for a long time. When I saw your petition, I knew I had to sign it.

Thank you so much. I love that you have the forward in it. I don't know that anyone else would have had the pure excitement and influence over colorist from around the world to make this happen.

You are wonderful.
Thank you!

Claire — your colorings are gorgeous in this beautiful book, which I will promptly order! This is absolutely stunning. I’m looking forward to getting my paws on it. You’re so creative. You sound so happy + excited while comparing the original to the newly released book. Emelie is beautiful. I love her creativity!! I may just have to order two copies. 🎉 ❤

I have it on preorder! Excited to get it!

Hi Claire, I have pre-ordered my copy of the fairytales and folklore book. I can't wait for it to come. I have ordered the fairytale book (2) copies, and they have arrived. I'm going to start colouring in it now. I've finished my picture from Wild Flower folk colouring book. Enjoy colouring in your new book. Happy colouring, Samantha ❤️ ❤️

I have this on order, thank you Claire for the massive part you played in bringing this book back to us. I think it is lovely that you have had the honour of completing the foreword so well deserved. I will continue to look forward to seeing you work in this book and to gain inspiration from your coloured pages 😊🎉

Thank you Claire. I have the Original Book Sagor och Sägner and the Fairytales Book and i have ordered this book, too. It will be arrived in September the twelve.

Pre-order done! So excited!

Would adore seeing your side by side coloring of previous pages vs current style!

Thank you Claire for bringing this book back. I am still waiting for mine to arrive. Can’t wait….. Just like you I would love to know the tales behind the drawings. Any word on that from Emelie??

I ordered this book right after she made known it was going to be published. And it's still waiting to be shipped to me. Which I finally get on the 27th of this month August! LoL 😂. I've been waiting on it for at least 4 months! It's been on preorder! LoL. Can't wait to get my copy! Your pages you colored look amazing! Thank you for sharing,🤗❤️‍🔥🙋

Thanks for the flip through, what a stunning book! Will be buying this for sure. Have you tried alcohol markers in your book and if so does it bleed through? 😊😍

I searched for this book for months and I was frustrated for a while there. I was so happy when I noticed Emelie's instagram talking about the reprint so I pre-ordered it earlier this year. Thank you for giving us the opportunity to color in this book by creating a petition! Thoughtful foreward in the book. I should have this book in my hands in the next day or two. What a neat idea, I hope you can get the history/lore around each illustration.

Your coloring art. In the old book is beautiful! Don’t know how you are going to top it! I bought two of the first books, one for me and one for my granddaughter. I had this book, but gave it to my granddaughter, then found out, I couldn’t find another copy to replace mine!grandma gets the new book! Ordering it tomorrow! Thank you! I love this book! Kathy

What's the size of the book like compared to the Hanna Karlzon books?

Thank you for the comparison, Claire. I love this book, but it is a little pricey for me (AUD 40). I'll wait 'till it's on special. I love your colouring, all of the pages look fantastic! 💜💙💚💛🧡

Thank you Claire for your review and your initiative in getting this book published, you and Emelie should be so happy with your achievement. My copy arrived on Saturday now I have to pluck up courage to colour in it. Thank you again and thank you Emelie for your wonderful artwork.😍

Beautiful I wish I would of order before July 15so happy for you ❤marina

Hi Claire, I know I’m late adding to the comments 😅, regardless, I want to thank you for sharing, yet another, fantastic colouring book review! Wow: what a gorgeous and wonderful book 😍Congratulations on your beautiful,
articulate and inspiring Foreword ❤ I love Emelie’s artwork and have just pre-ordered myself a copy ‘eventually’ 😊

Hello, this is very cool what you did with this great book, I’m a fan of the older books with the quality paper since starting in 2022. 🤩 I’m waiting to see which country has the best paper and I’ll order from one of your links. Thank you 🙏 🙏🙏🙏🙏 I’ve also subscribed. God Bless you and all those colourist in the community. 💐

I have succumbed and ordered the book. Thank you for helping get it reprinted. I will look for your tutorials to help me!!

I too would love a list of the stories each picture represents.

I just got the book and am in love❤Did you ever get a list referring the stories related to the pages? I would love to know. Thank you in advance❤

Just purchased (Australia) So so excited

Just a bit up yourself. Wow you got a book that's way too expensive for the majority of people republished. Big deal. The illustrations aren't even that good😊
