FREE: Secret Garden: An Inky Treasure Hunt and Coloring Book

The listing, Secret Garden: An Inky Treasure Hunt and Coloring Book has ended.

The adult coloring book fad is sweeping the world. This one started it all apparently 3 1/2 years ago. The book is black & white. I have attached examples of the pages colored in. They have recently started printing all the books with better paper that does not bleed through to the other side.

Prince William recently recognized the author of the Secret Garden, Johanna Basford, with an OBE, or Office of the British Empire, which isn't knighthood but is getting there. William told her that one of Princess Kate's hobbies is coloring Basford's books :-).
