Pretty Maiden

A young knight offers a pretty maiden a token of his undying adoration for her, which she tenderly accepts.

Pig and Troll

Squire Pig examines with great curiosity his leashed pet: an enormous troll. Captured from his home somewhere in the mountains, the troll seems humble enough...

Depth Of The Forest

Ghost In The Hall

Mr. Jones had heard mysterious noises in the old house since he bought it a few weeks before. The old mansion was supposedly haunted by apparitions, but he did not believe in such. But he was sure he had heard the stairs creak and someone or something stirring in the halls, waiting in the darkness just around the corner...

The Nursery Rhyme

An old man is entertained as two frogs promenade to the sweet strains of a gramophone. A clever pooch rides a goat in the front yard while a shy mouse peeps out from his niche in the wall. This illustration is a tribute to BEST LOVED NURSERY RHYMES AND SONGS INCLUDING MOTHER GOOSE SELECTIONS, a book which helped shape the artist's life from a very early age.
