For the enjoyment and enrichment of all you perusers of this here blog, I bring you these charming illustrations. I discovered them in a children's book which jumped up from the floor in #1 Son's room, straight into my hot little hands. Along with my camera.

No, really.

I think the owner of this book will not mind.
Although the text is in Chinese, I'll bet you can tell which tale is which!

I am inspired by all kinds of artwork, aren't you?
