As promised, we have put all the folks who kindly left us a comment into our raffle with two amazing books to win:
John Burningham: Behind the Scenes (with foreword by Maurice Sendak)
Reflections by Diana Wynne Jones with a foreword by Neil Gaiman
I thought it would useful to show you how we did the raffle, since I'll bet some of you would like to know how to conduct raffles on your own websites or blogs. We used an app called The Hat (you can download it here for free). We typed the names of all the commenters into the app (sorry, Dougall Trump, you were disqualified on account of being a fictional character) ... we then pressed the 'Shuffle' button to shuffle it (with lots of great sound effects):

After the names were thoroughly shuffled, we clicked the buttons to pick two names out of the hat.
AND HERE ARE THE WINNERS!

Congratulatons to Jackie Marchant and Rowena House!
