Hi Everyone,

I love the twilit realms of Folk and Fairy Tales (bet there are a few people on these forums that do too;)).

Here are some of my favourite illustrations, by Swedish artist John Bauer....

Into The Wide World

She Kissed The Bear On The Nose

Once upon a time a young prince went riding out into the moonlight

And she held up a key, a fine key made of pure gold

The Princess In The Forest

These are gorgeous, WildStrawberry! Thank you for sharing. Are they illustrations from books? They each look like they're from particular fairy tales.

Hi Charis 🙂

I know, they are really stunning aren't they, make you shake your head in amazement (wow)....

If you search: "Swedish Folk Tales" & "Swedish Fairy Tales" and/or books illustrated by John Bauer - you'll find more gorgeous illustrations. Trolls, Elves,Magicians ..... Deep Dark Forests................. everything you could wish for from a Folk / Fairy Tale.
