hen did I stop believing in Fairy Tales?
Damsels in Distress & Prince Charmings.
My favorite versions was a collection of mini books; four in total. Each classic fairy tale illustrated with detailed silhouettes. "Sleeping Beauty," "Snow White," "Hansel and Gretel," and "Cinderella." They dance through my mind when ever I am in a used bookstore.
Until recently, I had not pursued finding the illustrator of my beloved fairy tales. It took finding Kara Walkers nightmare like paper cuts of fairy tales illustrating racism, slavery, rape, & murder to finally search for my beloved books.
