The illustrations of artist & author Floyd Cooper. "I will always be an artist first. I see my writing as an extension of my illustrating. The approach to “building” a story with words & phrases is no different than “building” a painting with brushes & pigments."

Fairy tales are only for the child and the child-like: those who can return to the land of dreams and Faerie without concern for appearances but who seek out adventure simply for the pure delight of it.
