Sometimes the setting of a literary fairy tale is the most magical part. I love these enchanting scenes by Edmund Dulac (1882-1953). Sending you all well wishes for a good day. ☺️💖

The 1990 art heist at Boston’s Gardner Museum remains unsolved. On March 18th, late at night, two men, dressed as police, stole 13 works valued at half a billion dollars. The works remain missing: among them a Rembrandt & Vermeer, see below. Perhaps one day…#WyrdWednesday

Some fairy-tale princesses for you, as illustrated by Warwick Goble. I love the way tenderness to animals is often woven into his art. ☺️💖📚

When Alice meets the Cheshire Cat she learns that madness reigns Wonderland, as he says, “I’m not all there myself.” The phrase “Cheshire cat grin” dates to 18th-cen Cheshire’s dairy farms which made for happy cats. But Lewis Carroll made them famous forever. 🐱#MythologyMonday
