#BookIllustrationOfTheDay is by @SarahMassini for “The Little Prince” by Antoine de Saint-Exupéry, retold Louise Greig (2021). This much loved story becomes a picture book, elevated to a thing of beauty by the stunning illustrations, full of atmosphere, spirit and tenderness.

#BookIllustrationOfTheDay is by Sybille von Olfers, for The Story of the Snow Children (1906). Von Olfers was a German nun who also taught art and created books with charming, art nouveau illustrations and imaginative tales. A curious, bewitching book.

#BookIllustrationOfTheDay is by Toma Bogdanović for "The Snow Queen" retold Naomi Lewis, after Andersen (1967). No snow this Winter yet - but I live in hope! Wonderful artist from former Yugoslavia. Lovely European folk art influence, lending charm to the rich, painterly images.
