This week’s Bookworm Sat explores children’s lit. One of my all-time favourites is Burnett’s The Secret Garden: ❤️🌹🌳

This week’s Folklore Thursday looks at clothing in lore. Well, to me, Warwick Goble’s fairy-tale heroines are always dressed beautifully, & to the nines, no matter what enchantment befalls them. I love that ❤️#FolkloreThursday
One of my favourite, contemporary artists,
who is also so kind, is John Lechner. Here is just a sampling of his beautifully, magical work —his account is fun, too! @johnlechner ☺️💚🐝
I’ve always loved the way Warwick Goble’s magical, Edwardian, fairy-tale illustrations often portrayed a tenderness to animals ❤️✨
Some of Arthur Rackham’s enchanted, fairy-tale birds, drawn in his distinctive & beautiful style, for your day 🐦📚✨

Hans Christian Andersen was a slightly awkward looking guy who was born into poverty. So when he wrote The Ugly Duckling (1843) he knew how to make his readers love that tiny, sad duckling who grows to see his own self-worth. I’ll always love this moving tale 🦢#FairyTaleTuesday
Some of Molly Brett’s beautiful world for anyone having a hard day ❤️
