Once Upon a Time
I love fairytales. You may have noticed from the way many come to find a home in my blog. Quotes of fairytales, favorite pictures from fairytales, they have seemed to make their way without my very knowledge into and around my blog, so I have decided it is time to do an actual post on fairytales. I feel in the mood to revel over my favorite fairytale illustrations.
Is there anything more magical than the words "Once Upon a Time..." ? I suppose so... the words "...and They Lived Happily Ever After."
When I am shelving books in the children's section of the library I always fly through shelving most of the books so I can take my time in shelving the Fairytales. You always find the very best ones there. With such beautiful illustrations! Just so gorgeous I want to flip through the pages for hours!
"The more truley we can see life as a fairytale, the more clearly the tale resolves itself into a war with the Dragon who is wasting fairyland."
-G. K. Chesterton "Fairy Tales are more than true; not because they tell us that dragons exist, but because they tell us that dragons can be beaten."
-G.K. Chesterton ...and a song from my favorite Disney fairytale movie
*sentimental sigh*
"If I'm honest I have to tell you I still read Fairytales, and like them best of all."
-Audrey Hepburn
