For all of you who celebrate this weekend, I wish you joy and a very Happy Easter. I'll be celebrating with family and friends, including my absolutely beautiful granddaughter. (Yes, I am one of those mushy grandmas, and PROUD of it!) Ha! These wonderful illustrations are by one of my very favorite artists, British illustrator Racey Helps. Read more about Helps here. Link.
He is a fabulous illistrator, I agree.
ReplyDeleteMy Uncle was the illistrator (MUTT and Jeff).
This is the way I remember Easter, almost fairy like stories. I hope we don't lose this feel of telling stories. I enjoyed this post as always.
yvonne Have Happy Easter, or Passover..
And wishing you and yours a blessed Easter, as well! Give that beautiful granddaughter a few extra hugs...that's what grandmas are for.
ReplyDeleteP.S. I adore those charming illustrations -- thanks for posting them.
Yvonne: One of my very favorites. I love the charm.
ReplyDeleteI loved MUTT AND JEFF, Yvonne! Do you have any of the original work?
Thanks for kind words.
Joanne: Will do! I never thought I'd turn into one of those googly grandmas, but I have. Ha!
ReplyDeleteYou're welcome, re: the illustrations. So glad you like them. :)
Beautiful illustrations. I've seen these but didn't know the artist.
ReplyDeleteI'm sure you'll load up your granddaughter with books full of illustrations like these.
Have a nice time with your family, and hope the sun comes out on Sunday.
Thanks, Kathy. Yes, Racey Helps is very recognizable, but few know his actual name. I've loved his work since I was a kid. :)
ReplyDeleteJoyeuses Pâques de Madame Grenouille (première image....). Merci pour ces belles photos !
ReplyDeleteAvec plaisir, Rainette. I didn't realize that 'frog' was 'Grenouille' in French. What a wonderful word! Joyeuses Pacques!
