Walter Crane’s Victorian Bluebeard was forbidding and terrifying. Yet it was also embroidered with neoclassicism, Morris’ influence, & the Arts & Crafts movement’s love of tapestries, old manuscripts, medievalism, &…peacocks -if you can spot them ☺️🦚🗝#FairyTaleTuesday

If I had to pick one fairy tale I loved as a child, it was Bluebeard. Brought to life by Charles Perrault in 1697, & illustrated below by Doré & Dalziel in the 19thc, the tale’s themes of forbidden secrets & the perils of curiosity were as old as Pandora 😱🗝#FairyTaleTuesday

In many stories, a magician's magic is innate and manifests at a certain age; thus certain birthdays are especially important. Gwyn in "Snow Spider" receives his magic tools on his 9th birthday while Will in "Dark Is Rising" receives his first one on his 11th.
