Beautiful illustrations _

How lovely to be reminded of such classics!
I agree about Jackie Morris, and The Lost Words and the Lost Spells are wonderful.
Jan Pienkowski did some lovely illustrations for the classic Xmas & Easter stories - they look like illuminated manuscripts, and this atheist liked to have those 'founding stories' on the bookshelf.
Really for adults, but all of my GCs get The Man Who Planted Trees - a lovely tale for our times - and it resonates with a family legend. Fine for older children.

What about Hans Christian Anderson's Complete Fairy Tales illustrated by Kay Neilsen or other children's books she illustrated. Brilliant illustrator.

Ashcombe I loved that Wonky Donkey video and have posted the link on the Lockdown thread to cheer people up. I'm sure it will; how can you not laugh along with that lovely grandma?

I have to be very careful what books I buy as my very protective dil won't have the likes of Grimm's Fairy Tales in the house. Don't blame her when I remember some of the things which caused my nightmares from them, Andersen and Struwelpeter.

Cherry I'll look for Kay Neilsen though - thank you

Oooh, Kay Neilsen is a man!
I suppose I should have known from the legend of the Ice Queen
Gorgeous illustrations.
