I am updating this because I added a few more illustrations and captions for them all. So here we go...
The McElderry Book of Grimms' Fairy Tales
by Saviour Pirotta (Adapter), Emma Chichester Clark (Illustrator) is not a new book, but I recently discovered many of the illustrations from it in an online exhibition so I thought I would share on this hot, summery day. Here are some illustrations for Snow White and Rose Red:
SNIP, SNIP – SHE CUT OFF A GOOD PORTION OF THE DWARF'S BEARD
IT WAS A DWARF WITH HIS LONG BEARD TRAPPED UNDER THE TREE TRUNK
DON'T JUST STAND THERE, WATCHING ME DROWN!
'ARE YOU MAD?' HOWLED THE DWARF
THE BEAR CAME IN AND SAT BY THE FIRE
THE GIRLS' MOTHER CAME TO LIVE WITH THEM IN THE PALACE AND SHE BROUGHT HER TWO ROSE TREES WITH HER
How interesting, I've never seen the girls illustrated as identical twins before!
