Ms. Beckett who spent part of her childhood
in Dublin, vividly remembered a fairy tale book
from that time with a beautiful illustrtion
of a prince and princess.
She wrote..”It would be lovely if some child
remembered an illustrtion of mine,
as vividly and with much love.
I always think of small persons studying each
detail of a picture as I work, so I try to put
plenty in to be discovered.”

Hoi Anna,

De bovenste tekeningen deden mij door z'n eenvoud een beetje denken aan tekeningen in een stripboek. Erg knap, maar weet niet of ik ze nu ook echt zo mooi vind.

Fijne avond!

Lieve groet, Madelief
