Wonderful Interior Details in A Children's Book published in 1900
A delightful wood engraving by Hans Tegner. Denmark. 1853-1932. It appeared in a book of fairy tales and stories by Hans Christian Andersen published in 1900 in the collection of The New York Public Library. It seems so sophisticated for a children's book and could easily be in one of today's Interior Design magazines or coffee table books. The room's decor is timeless. An adult reading to a child would have enjoyed this artwork and the idea of the story is perfectly illustrated for a child to enjoy and understand too! I love it, don't you?
UPDATE: I JUST DISCOVERED A LINK FOR THE ACTUAL BOOK OF FAIRY TALES AND STORIES BY HANS CHRISTIAN ANDERSEN PUBLISHED IN 1900. IT HAS BEEN DIGITIZED BY THE NEW YORK PUBLIC LIBRARY.
There are 524 pages.
Who knows what else you will discover!
ENJOY! xo

Einstein Quote about Fairy Tales
I have always loved this quote and today I discovered the perfect illustration!
æOnce upon a time the famous physicist Albert Einstein was confronted by an overly concerned woman who sought advice on how to raise her small son to become a successful scientist. In particular she wanted to know what kinds of books she should read to her son.
‘Fairy Tales,’ Einstein responded without hesitation.
‘Fine, but what else should I read to him after that?’ the mother asked.
‘More fairy tales,’ Einstein stated.
‘And after that?’
‘Even more fairy tales,’ replied the great scientist, and he waved his pipe like a wizard pronouncing a happy end to a long adventure. via
