@outridercreative: If you only knew Mercer Mayer for his Little Critter and Little Monster books, you would have no idea this dark fantasy version of the Sleeping Beauty was his! His fairy tale illustrations are so dreamy. #fairytale #illustration #darkfantasyaesthetic #darkfantasy #art #fairycore #fae #fantasy #fantasyart #sleepingbeauty #princess #fantasyart #medieval
its crazy how different the tone is while still feeling familiar to critter books.

East of the Sun and West of the moon and Beauty and the Beast greatly touched me as a child-his illustrations are so beautiful-I agree the eyes and flesh tones gorgeous

If you love this book you should also check out Everyone Knows What a Dragon Looks Like. Mercer Mayer’s art is stunning. I feel like it’s even more detailed than Sleeping Beauty.

I love that this art style is reminiscent of Celtic and Nordic styles with the staves, knots, and furs. Perhaps a nod to the Volsunga Saga (one of the potential SB origin stories). So beautiful!

I’ve never seen this story. I used to love his “Professor Wormbog and the Ziparump-a-Zoo” as a kid. There’s so much to see in his illustrations.

I love you content. Before your page found me, I was telling my “mom friends” how I don’t think the kids appreciate the art in some of their children’s books as much as I do.
