It’s back on kiddos!  From Little Shop’s blog…

Ms. Andrews will be here on Friday, July 9th at 6 p.m.

This event is a signing for her new book, The Very Fairy Princess. Ms. Andrews will not be doing a presentation and no photography will be permitted.

This will be a ticketed event, and availability will be limited. Little Shop of Stories will pass out tickets on Tuesday, July 6th, starting at 6 p.m. While tickets are free, you must purchase a copy of The Very Fairy Princess from Little Shop of Stories at this time to obtain a ticket.

Dave at Little Shop of Stories lets us know that the Julie Andrews book-signing event announced a few weeks ago, has been canceled.

The shop hopes to reschedule the event for next month.  Stay tuned.

Hip, hip, and hooray for Little Shop of Stories, which won a 2010 Women’s National Book Association Pannell Award recognizing “retail bookstores that excel at inspiring the interest of young people in books and reading.”

The award includes a $1,000 award, which might come-in handy when Little Shop Stories is forced to hire a cleaning crew to collect all the apple strudel crumbs, severed kitten whiskers and cream-colored pony droppings inevitably left behind by the notoriously rowdy fans of Julie Andrews.

UPDATE: Post has been updated with a date and time, thanks to Little Shop’s comment below.  Note this is only a book-signing, no presentation.

Since apparently someone (I’m looking at you Mayor Floyd) let the cat of the bag at last night’s city commission meeting, I guess I don’t need to keep this under wraps anymore.

Julie Andrews will be signing from her new children’s book at Little Shop of Stories on May 21st from 2p-4p.

Looks like LSOS is playing in the big leagues now, ever since their big Neil Gaiman “get” last year.

More details as they come in, but the event is limited to only 200 people.

Huge congrats to Little Shop!!
