There was once ...The collected fairy tales

(Click on image to see excerpts as a slideshow on Flickr.) Turn the pages of this little book and discover other worlds, where mysterious women disguised in moth masks appear under cover of darkness, and equally elusive women display wondrous hair ornaments decorated with disconcertingly life-like insects. The girl imprisoned in a tower along with her unruly long hair is no Rapunzel, nor is the resourceful young woman saddled with a wicked step parent another Cinderella - they are prepared to rescue themselves if necessary. Beware of the 'stings in the tales' of the moth who looked like a wasp, the pessimistic trapdoor spider and the true story of the girl who wanted to paint. Two cautionary tales reveal the fates of the lazy girl and the boy who tormented animals and insects. There is all of this, and more. Illustrated with a selection of the author's prints, paintings and drawings.
