This week it’s the Green Fairy Book and I’ve plucked a few of my favourite illustrations to share with you. Most of the artwork that I’ve chosen involves animals. My absolute favourite drawings, though, are from the last story in the book, The Three Dogs. Enjoy!

Wow. I am wowed. This has wowed me. I’m especially wowed by the crystal coffin and the disappearing cow. Portraying transparency with pen and ink seems like such a challenge.

I remember these illustrations! I think I had the book but with a different cover -- they are truly stunning. My favourite too is the glass coffin, but for some reason the illustration from the Caliph Stork really brought back the memories.

I’m glad you both enjoyed this book. The crystal coffin is probably my favourite drawing, too, but I think the entire book is fabulous.
