Buy Magical Dawn Coloring Book: Published in Sweden as "Magisk Gryning" (Gsp- Trade): Published in Sweden as "Magisk Gryning" (Hanna Karlzon) Clr Csm by Hanna Karlzon (ISBN: 9781423646594) from desertcart's Book Store. Everyday low prices and free delivery on eligible orders. Review: One of the most beautiful colouring book available - Magical Dawn (Magisk Gryning)by Hanna Karlzon is the artist’s third colouring book to be re-printed in English (not counting her postcard books). It is still the same beautiful hard-backed cover book as her previous two; Daydreams (Dagdrommar) and Summer Nights (Sommarnatt) . The cover illustration is that of a winged insect surrounded by flowers and jewellery flourishes in Hanna’s familiar style, further highlighted with beautiful gold foiling on a lilac background. It has black textured paper binding on the spine with a gold foiled title. On opening the book you are met with beautiful black pages on the inside cover and first page. This is also repeated at the close of the book. The paper is the same as the previous two books as it is sourced from the original paper mill. It has the same great quality, beautiful ivory colour, medium thickness, smooth finish and gorgeous to colour on paper. Flip the page and you are greeted with the title page with a frog prince (he’s wearing a crown) peeping out from a bejewelled trinket box. Turn the page again and on the left side you have the publishing details along with a little decorative crystal cluster and on the right the beautifully illustrated nameplate page this time with an assortment of decorative potion bottles. Each page is double-sided and Stitch -bound to the cloth inside binding. It is bound in the same way as most hardback books. The only problem with it being a hard-backed book is the pages don’t lie completely flat which makes colouring into the centre a little difficult on double page spreads, but this is a problem with many paperback books too, and the pluses of the beautiful hardback cover and exquisite binding for me outweigh the minuses. The illustrations vary with a mix of single and double page spreads. for those familiar with Hanna’s style you won’t be disappointed, there is no compromise on either the quality of the book itself or the illustrations. There is a mix of her usual flora and fauna, insects, birds, cute houses, beautiful women, crystals, keys in Hanna’s decorative style only this time we have a more magical theme. There are potion bottles and vials, winged animals, a fortune teller with her crystal ball, tattooed princesses, jewels and a sand timer. Many colouring books have stand-out pages and other pages that seem to just fill the book out; those repeat pattern ‘wallpaper’ pages that you skip past uninspired. – Hanna’s books have none of those and this is no exception. Every page of the book is beautiful and makes you want to colour them all. I could easily have chosen completely different pictures to feature and they would still be as good as the ones I have chosen to show. Most of you by now have probably seen many of the pictures coloured from her previous books even if you don’t already own one. I remember first buying Dagdrommar and I was afraid for a while to colour in it as I was worried I would spoil it. I thought my skills at the time might not be up to colouring in it and it looked daunting. Once i plucked up the courage I found that due to its smaller size even double pages feel less daunting than most. Of the many, many books I own my Hanna Karlzon books are the books I colour in the most. Although they are intricate and ornate there are never fiddly tiny bits which sometimes frustrate me. And the illustrations are so beautiful you want to colour your best to do justice them. I have learnt how to colour well from colouring in these books. Before them I had never tackled skin and hair as I thought it would be difficult, now they are my favourite thing to colour. The book finishes with an illustrated insect on an apple (another creature wearing a crown) , then there is the same black loose page and lined inside cover that was at the front of the book. For any colorist who likes beautiful artwork this is a must-have book along with Hanna’s others. It really goes without me saying that this is a must have for any colouring book enthusiast as they really don’t get any better than this. I was kindly sent a copy by the publisher, however all thoughts and opinions expressed are my own. Review: Well worth the money - Quick delivery. Lovely colouring book Excellent thick paper. Lovely detail in drawings tho some more than others.

Beautiful colouring book.
I love all these colouring books in this series by this artist. The artwork is beautiful and very unusual. The paper stock is high quality and my felt tips don’t bleed through to the following page (anything like a sharpie pen will bleed through) Can be used for painting too or mixed media, the pictures are simple yet detailed and I can use different media to alter the look of some of the characters to totally personalise my book. Perfect for anyone who loves colouring.

Incredible ❣
This is book 3 in Hanna Karlzon's collection , another beautiful hardback cover,;; wonderful paper quality and filled with Hanna's usual plants, wildlife, moths,crystals,;; this book is a thing of absolute beauty ,, I've attached my version of the large moth,, I called her the moth queen !!! The leaves were an addition by me and Hannah herself commented and approved which made my day lol ,;, Again I work with 98% pencils but I'd be to worried to ruin the picture underneath with markers and gel pens ,,, this is still my most liked picture in my little colouring group on Facebook called Darkmoons Colouring,,, if your a Hanna fan you must have this book... also if your new to colouring and you love nature jump in and get this book you will be so glad that you did ; Hanna's work literally makes your soul smile ,, extremely talented artist x

Avoid watercolor. Alcohol based pens are a no-no. Glitter may show through.
Very quick delivery along with two other of Hanna's books. I love the gems and make up which ones I want them to be ! There is a slight problem: the paper is not as good as I thought because gel pens ( not alcohol based ones ) do show through the back of the next page which is a pity. Been told that one can use watercolor but I will not do so. Repeat myself: paper not as thick as I expected. Pity that the pages are not single sided. Four stars because of above criticism.

Beautiful colouring book
Bought this book for adult colouring after watching YouTube videos by the brilliant Zucchinikitty! There are some gorgeous images in here & the paper is quite thick so will take watercolour & Inktense pencils. I already have the Daydreams book by Hanna Karlzon, which I love, but I think this one is even better.

Super quality paper.
Gorgeous illustrations. I use prismacolours, polychromos, Inktense and Neocolors 2 on the paper without any buckling. Definitely recommend. The binding is excellent too. I will definitely buy the other books in the range 🙏
