Coming soon - #TheYellowDwarf of #TheBlueFairyBook from #TheLangFairyBooks

A #fairytale of deals, weddings, and magical peril

Here are the #HenryJusticeFord illustrations.

" And bright flowers on slender stem
Gaze up at her as she passes
Brushing lightly through the grasses.
Oh! my Princess, birds above
Echo back our songs of love,
As through this enchanted land
Blithe we wander, hand in hand."

#TheYellowDwarf #TheBlueFairyBook

In the forest all is gay When my Princess walks that way. All the blossoms then are found Downward fluttering to the ground, Hoping she may tread on them. And bright flowers in slender stem Gaze up at her as she passes Brushing lightly through the grasses, Oh! My Princess, birds above Echo back our Songs of Love, As through this enchanted land Blithe we wander, hand in hand.

From Andrew Lang's "The Blue Fairy Book"

Bellissima's Song

The story this comes from is called "The Yellow Dwarf", which eventually was modified over time to become Rumplestilskein.
