I have always loved fairy-tales and stories from around the world. Old or new, children stories are the best and many of them provide great truths among small and simple words. Some of them you will recognize imediately but some of them are not that predictable..
Let us begin with the most common ones:
Red-Riding Hood The Snow Queen
by Brothers Grimm by H.C. Andersen
I love the Chronicles of narnia by C.S. Lewis. So this illustration could very well stand as a possible cover for the book: “The Silver Chair”
The Silver Chair
J.R. Tolkien is also among my favourite writers.
Luthien Tinuviel a elbereth gilthoniel
I grew up reading German romantic story-tellers. Their tales rooted deep into my mind:
The Elves Undine
by Ludwig Tieck by Friedrich de la Motte Fouqué
I grew up with this particular story beautifully illustrated on a dia-film. Here is my version of it:
Praslea the Mighty and the Golden Apples
by Petre Ispirescu
Snow White
by Brothers Grimm
Par la Fenetre
At Midnight
Fata mosneagului
The Mother of Stephen the Great
