Hey Rima! Another coincidence!! We're making a habit of this! I did spot this book one day when I hadn't a penny. It's top of my list now, thanks for the 'review'.

Beautiful painting. Beautiful sentiment. :-)

The book of lost thins called to me too. I found it quite by accident picking it off the shelf of my library, whilst passing 10 minutes away before catching a bus. Of course I became immersed and borrowed it.
I've only recently stumbled across your blog and really love your work. You are a very gifted individual. I have added you to my list of places I like to visit. I hope this is ok?

Now I'm reminded of Rumplestiltskin for the first time in 30 years, I won't be able to get out of my mind that Ladybird book image of a little ugly man stamping his foot through the floor in a fit of rage.

Rima, this is my first visit to your site, which I happened upon quite by accident. So glad I did. Really enjoyed it. :) I hope you don't mind if I add you to my blogroll over on my blog.

Hello Rima,

I read this book during a very painful illness and it helped me through it because I felt transported into another world.. John Connolly's words are so poetic, even in his other works which tend to be full of murder and violence..

I love the way you make paintings on pieces of wood, it makes them into individual objects with their own little soul. You may have a vision of the future in that painting, how lovely that would be.
The original fairy tales were very violent weren't they? In my copy of Classic Fairy Tales you can open it at almost any page to get blood and pain!

Rima, it sounds wonderful! I've seen it around...the cover is Rob Ryan I think? I shall go and get it asap! Awww, so sorry your painting is going, it's quite heart wrenching when a favourite goes isn't it?

Hee, hee, conspicuously using your hot water bottle, a nice touch. Sounds like a great book, most people do seem to forget the gory part of the original fairytales, there are lots of different sorts of fairies....That is an awfully lovely sweet painting, I'm glad, though, that it is your little blog icon. Soup forever!
