all those pictures are so familiar... my childchood is under a spell of Julian Tuwim... didnt know there are folks publishing in the web something i've got still somewhere in my drawer... you made the moment, thank You.
Hi! I grew up reading books with illustrations like these. I especially remember a three-volume edition of Andersen's tales, with disturbing, dark illustrations with skulls, hills with faces etc. They were by Sturmillo (I recognize the face in the sea that you have posted)and Janusz Stanny http://www.bwagaleriazamojska.art.pl/stannyjan.jpg http://www.bwagaleriazamojska.art.pl/stannyjan.jpg I remember that the pictures were frightening to me, but also strangely attractive. I am an artist and a writer, and reading books and looking at illustrations for hours when I was a child had a great influence on who I am now. I wish I had kept my books but we immigrated to Canada and left them behind. You brought back so many memories. You have a great blog! Thank-you, Kasia Jaronczyk
