  5. Beautiful illustration...fits the theme perfectly. It is one of the saddest children's tale, and I still get teary when I read it.

  13. Hi Ella
    I wonder if you'd be kind enough to help me. I'm writing a post for my film review blog, in which I'm lampooning idea of a Pixar adaptation of this story. WOuld you be willing to allow me to use your image? I'd doctor it slightly, in order to make it look like a Pixar poster, and of course I'd gladly credit you and link to your blog. Please let me know.
    Thanks!
    John
