The Tinderbox


This has been one of my favorite story book illustrations for a very long time.
It's from the The Golden Book of Fairy Tales (Golden Books, 1958). It's an illustration from "The Tinderbox", a story about three gigantic magical dogs.
This beautiful illustration was done by a French illustrator named Adrienne Segur.
This book is available through Amazon.com. It's full of spectacular full color fairy tale pictures by this wonderful artist. A perfect cuddle up book for Grandma to read to her favorite grandchildren.
