Emily Jane Rothwell 🖤🌸🖋さんのイラストまとめ

Some fairy-tale enchantment for you all with Warwick Goble’s deft hand. I love his illustrations. They’re other-worldly, yet lovingly familiar. Have a cozy day. ☺️💕

As night falls, here’s a cozy mouse for you all -knitting away. It’s a lesser known work, but you may recognize the artist’s initials at bottom right: Helen Beatrix Potter, her full name. I love the specs. Good night, my friends. ☺️💕✨

One of the oldest wares to be sold on market day this time of year, and still are, were hot cross buns. The English nursery rhyme carries within it histories of women selling these delicious treats. I still love hot cross buns & always loved the rhyme. ☺️📚💕

Nursery rhymes derived from centuries-old ballads loved by the people. Often, the focus was on market days, selling wares, & heading to town. Here are two old & beloved English ones, one drawn by Randolph Caldecott. ☺️📚💫

Some springtime happiness for you all by Walter Crane (1845-1915). ☺️🌷💚

Some fairies for your Friday. These are all by Ida Rentoul Outhwaite (1888-1960). Her work enchants. She was drawn to fairy worlds all her life, & I hope her art brightens your day.

In 1977, a Dutch couple bought a used copy of the Grimms’ Fairy Tales. It turned out to have been Anne Frank’s. She had to leave it behind when they went into hiding. It was sold at auction in 2016. Anne wanted to be a writer and she is. I hope the tales inspired her. 📚❤️

Hoffmann’s “Der Struwwelpeter,” from 1845, is a terrifying, German children’s book. In moralizing tales, children are gravely punished for “bad” deeds —like “shaggy Peter’s” hygiene, & thumb-sucking! 😂Chilling images were burned into kids’ memories forever. 📚

#FolkloreThursday

Fairy trees were portals to fairy worlds in Ireland. Therefore, one never felled a fairy tree —often a mighty hawthorn with gnarled, old roots —the doorway to fairy abodes. To this day, people bring offerings to these old & beloved trees. 🧚‍♀️🌳
