The Very Fairy Princess (Book) SIGNED by Julie Andrews (Two Available)

**UPDATE** - There are now TWO copies up for bid!  Please read below for more details.

This wonderful book by mother-daughter duo Julie Andrews (yes, THAT Julie Andrews) & Emma Walton Hamilton was donated by Dr. Melissa Keras-Donaghy, friend of Kimberly Williams Tucker in honor of Jonah.  It was signed by Dame Julie Andrews in person in Larchmont, NY on February 4, 2013.

**Thanks to the big heart of the donor's daughter, we now have TWO autographed copies of the book available!  Julie Andrews signed a copy of the book for her, and she has chosen to donate it to the auction in honor of her grandmother, who passed away from a very rare form of leukemia.

The books and signatures are identical (see image below) and will go to the two highest bidders.

From Amazon:
It's Valentine's Day, one of Geraldine's favorite times of year! She gets out her very best glitter to make cards for her family and friends at school, trying extra hard to think of ways to showcase all of their special qualities. But when Gerry gets to school and realizes she accidentally took a folder of Daddy's work papers instead of the cards she worked so hard on - oh no! - she can't help but be disappointed. Thankfully, her teacher helps her find an extra special way to celebrate the inner sparkle of each of her friends.

The cover price of the book is $16.99.

Bidding will start at $6.
