"Once upon a time there was a young woman who longed for a tiny child, but she wished in vain..." This Janet and Anne Grahame Johnstone illustration was salvaged from the 1977 book Dean's "A Book of Fairy Tales." It features the two pages of story of Thumbelina, illustrating when Thumbelina was born from a flower. The full-page artwork is fine and intricate, with gorgeous, lush detailing that draws you into the story. The illustration measures 10 3/4" by 8 1/4". The page is clean with slightly rounded corners and minor creasing where it was attached to the the spine. Framed and matted these minor imperfections in the margin would not be seen. Vintage prints are always the perfect decorating choice for any room in your home or office. The illustration would also be great for use in your collage, mixed media or altered art projects. The Johnstones were British children's book illustrators best known for their delicate, detailed artwork who made names for themselves after illustrating the classic "The Hundred and One Dalmatians." Their prolific art made them the most widely recognized illustrators of children's books in England, and Dean's Fairy Tales is one of their more popular works.

‘Fairy tales from folk lore’ by Hershel Williams; illustrated by M.H. Squire. Published 1908 by Moffat, Yard & Company, New York. See the complete book here.
Hi all, You may wonder what has kept me from you for such a long time. Three words. Second. Year. Uni. Sigh. I wish I were more present this year, almost half of it has already gone by, I'll definitely have to sort myself out and become more present with my blog updates! But I am sure you understand how life can be. Today I am going to share with you another book by illustrated by Beverlie Manson and written by Lorne Leete-Hodge. It's The Big Golden Book of Fairy Tales published first in 1978 and then republished in 1981. In case anyone has lost their copy or would like to purchase one online the ISBN is: 0-307-95545-1 I found pictures of this fairy tale collection online and was really loving the illustrations. After that I spent a few weeks trying to track down the books info, so I could buy one. And now for the important stuff! In terms of styling, I felt like this collection was the most Manson's work has ever reflected the work of the Johnstone sisters, I felt like her later work wasn't nearly as detailed. As you will see if you go back to this entry: http://magicalvintagechildrensbooks.blogspot.com.au/2013/09/beverlie-manson-johnstone-sisters.html I am not saying her modern work isn't beautiful; but it just seems very different compared with this. The book houses stories such as The Emperor's New Clothes, Snow White and Rose Red, Hansel and Gretel, Rumpelstiltskin, The Ugly Ducking, [Goldilocks and] the Three Bears, The Little Fir Tree, The Sleeping Beauty, Cinderella, The Golden Goose and Jack and the Beanstalk. I must admit it was nice to one that contained some of the lesser known fairy tales too. Like Snow White and Rose Red (above.) I adore the flamboyants of the emperor's costume! This is probably one of my favourite illustrations in the entire book of the queen for Rumpelstiltskin. I like the way Manson illustrated the candle and as hard as it may be to see in the photo, her hair is almost glowing gold. Stunning. This illustration from The Little Fir Tree is a great example of the Victorian era. I really love that time period. I am tempted to get this scene put in a frame. The Sleeping Beauty I thought that it was interesting Manson chose to illustrate her with dark hair, which is something you scarcely see. How gorgeous is this iconic scene from Cinderella? Thanks for stopping by!
