The Stumpwork Robe
by Prue Batten
Description from author's site:
A magnificent robe . . . minikin journals hidden in the embroidery.
Eldritch wights and murder.
Tragedy and revenge.
Adelina the Traveller’s sanity is cobbled together with fraying stitches as she is held captive and must embroider a gown which may eventually conceal the keys to immortality . . .
The Last Stitch
(sequel)
by Prue Batten
A hob, a Faeran and a mortal stitcher.
Veniche and the Days of the Dark . . .
For Adelina, revenge should be her salvation.
But those who love her wonder if it will be her damnation.
Adelina says to her readers: ‘If you touch the book then you will quite simply die.’
Are you game?

My blog was recently visited by Prue and when I went to visit her blog in return I was treated to these miniature books.
What are miniature books?
Books under 3" tall are considered miniature books. They're generally readable with the naked eye, and easily handled, like regular sized books. Micro-miniature books, on the other hand, fit the 1"=1', or 1/12 scale, used by most dollhouse makers. These tiny books can still be read (if you're as nearsighted as I am), but illustrations seem to come through much better to full-scale human eyes.
Doesn't that sound adorable? Perfect size for fairy-like stories, eh?
I'm curious. If any of you have read stories in this format, do tell what you thought of them.
Just found out...
