Viktor Mikhaylovich Vasnetsov (1848 – 1926) was a Russian artist specializing in mythological & historical subjects. As a co-founder of Russian #folklorist & romantic nationalistic painting, he was a key figure in the Russian revivalist movement. #FairyTaleTuesday #illustrator
Illustrations from THE NENUPHAR BOOK by author/ illustrator Sveta Dorosheva (b. Ukraine) “a book about people and human world, as seen through the eyes of fairy-tale creatures.” Her earliest inspirations were Russian fairytales, then myth and medieval art. #FairytaleTuesday
I love Russian fairy tales. My favourite is 'The Frog Princess' in which a princess is being held captive in the form of a frog by the immortal Koschei. Her only way out is a prince who has to find a magic needle which will set her free.

Once there was a little girl who lived in a forest of perpetual sunlight, with an old man who walked with a cane, his wise friend, a raven haired lady alchemist, a green tarot card reader & her two cherubic, nutmeg brown foxes.

Inside of me.
I thought it was kids,
But it's stones that they be"

#FairyTaleTuesday In Aesop’s Fables, Fox makes soup for Stork. He ladles it onto a plate and laps it up. Stork is forced to watch as she can’t lap. Stork makes soup for Fox, she pours it into a tall glass and slurps it. Fox hates the joke being on him.

Puss in Boots, Master Cat or Booted cat is my own cat's favourite fairy tale.😼
This trickster has roots in Indian and Italian fairy tales before Perrault wrote it down. The cat even appears in Tchaikovsky's ballet called The Sleeping Beauty.
