M. Montgomery and Jane Austen. I have never actually read any of Elizabeth Gaskell&#8217;s books, so I&#8217;ve added her name to the front of my <a href=\"http:\/\/michellecooper-writer.com\/blog\/2012\/07\/my-book-journal\/\" title=\"Memoranda: My Book Journal\">book journal<\/a>, along with <em>Never Let Me Go<\/em> by Kazuo Ishiguro, even though I suspect that book&#8217;s going to make me cry. Valerie also asked about a Montmaray mini-series, which I think would be an excellent idea. However, although there&#8217;s been some interest, no-one has actually bought the film and TV rights yet, so we can keep producing our own versions in our heads, casting our own personal favourite actors and actresses.<\/p>\n<p>There were so many entries in the book giveaway that I&#8217;ve decided to choose five winners, rather than three. Congratulations to Jill, Karen K, Margaret Mayfield, Tara N and Kitty, who have each won a copy of the Vintage Classics edition of <em>A Brief History of Montmaray<\/em>. The book went on sale in Australia today, alongside <a href=\"http:\/\/www.randomhouse.com.au\/collections\/vintage-classics-childrens-collection.aspx\" title=\"Random House Australia: Vintage Classics Children's Collection\" target=\"_blank\">lovely new editions<\/a> of <em>Little Women<\/em>, <em>I Capture the Castle<\/em>, <em>The Secret Garden<\/em>, <em>Swallows and Amazons<\/em>, <em>Alice&#8217;s Adventures in Wonderland<\/em> and fourteen other classic children&#8217;s novels. Random House Australia is offering Australian readers a chance to win <a href=\"http:\/\/www.randomhouse.com.au\/competitions\/entryform.aspx?id=463\" title=\"Random House Australia: Vintage Children's Classics competition\" target=\"_blank\">an entire library of Vintage Children&#8217;s Classics<\/a> and is giving away, for a limited time, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.randomhouse.com.au\/vintage-classics\/stockists.aspx\" title=\"Random House Australia: Vintage Children's Classics gift pack offer\" target=\"_blank\">special gift packs<\/a> to those who buy three Vintage Children&#8217;s Classics.
