Yes! Great guesses! My all time favorite topic : ) These pictures are taken from my magical copy of
Hans Christian Andersen Fairy Tales, which my grandmother gave me. It is one of my most prized possessions. The illustrations are amazing! I also have a cool edition of
Grimm's Fairy Tales. ~ F
Andersen wove his words into the fabric of life. Grimm told strange stories of wonder and strife. For twelve dancing princesses or a girl with a match, all of these dreams are yours to catch. In smoke and magic, they are told and will touch your heart, no matter how young nor old.
What are they? Answer: Fairy tales

Great, fat sprawling spiders spun webs of a thousand years round and round their feet.

ReplyDeleteBarbara- You are right! The book is special to me for a couple of reasons. :) Every time I read it I feel close to my grandma. ~F
DeleteWow, these are really awesome illustrations, the one in the inside cover, especially! And like Barbara said, it's even more special as a gift from your grandma. Did she read fairy tales to you in the past?
ReplyDeleteThank you, Claudine. I love the illustrations and the stories. My grandmother and I share a love for fairy tales and she always reads some to me whenever we get together. Some of my favorites are the ones she makes up for me. When I am missing her- I can open my special book and "spend some time" with her until our next visit. :) ~F
