is by Paul Galdone for "Anatole and the Cat" by Eve Titus (1957).
Simple (French flag) colours & layered tone, with line, give a jaunty air to these beloved books. I just love all these mouselings lined up in bed, jackets nearly hung up on named pegs!

Ok, inspired by here are some more illustrations by Eric Winter from the ladybird Snow-White. They bring back very vivid memories, but looking at them now, some of them are rather disturbing... (Just like the tale, I guess...)

is by Eric Winter for "Snow White" by Vera Southgate (1969). For better or worse, the Ladybird "Well-loved tales" are indelibly etched on the memory of a whole generation. So vividly illustrated, every costume, expression & setting seems familiar.
