Some visuals from the classic Hungarian Folk Tales series (Magyar Népmesék) by Magyar Televízió, a major television channel in Hungary. This show has always been a major visual inspiration for me, and I hope the same for you. All episodes are available on the Hungarian Folk Tales Youtube channel.

Olga Dugina’s white background illustrations for One Thousand and One Nights, also known as Arabian Nights, a collection of folktales compiled in Arabic during the Islamic Golden Age. 

Sultan Shahryar has become jealous as he suspects his wife is being unfaithful to him. Through his chief minister, he collects one maiden in the land to be his wife for one night and then have her slaughtered the next morning. The atrocities continue until the chief minister’s eldest daughter Scheherezade is finally chosen. She and her sister enter the palace. The next morning, her sister asks Scheherezade to tell her a story. “Very well,” she says, and she begins.

“Once upon a time there was a funny dog named Crispin’s Crispian. He was named Crispin’s Crispian because he belonged to himself.”

Mister Dog by Margaret Wise Brown, illustrated by Garth Williams, 1952. If you’ve read any Little Golden Books when you were little, you may recognise our friend Crispin!

The Snow Queen by Hans Christian Andersen. 

This particularly illustration is called “The Garden of the Woman Learned in Magic”. Gerda floats down the river in a little boat until she arrives at the witch’s cottage, where it is eternally summer. There are many parallels of light and dark, or warm and cold, in this timeless story. Edmund Dulac does a perfect job of bringing out these parallels in his whimsical, exquisite illustrations.

Wouldn’t you like to live in her cottage?

“She lives in a castle east of the sun and west of the moon, and there, too, is a princess, one with a nose three yards long.”

Kay Nielsen’s illustrations for the Norwegian fairytale “East of Sun and West of Moon”, circa 1914. Our tale begins in late autumn, and the snow is starting to fall. A family is sheltering from the storm one night, when a mysterious but kind white bear shows up at their doorstep.
