A frog he would a wooing go...

Some illustrations probably for Wind in the Willows. I didn't keep the artist's name but I'm leaning toward Beatrix Potter. Though she may never have illustrated for other authors...




The most fun  is the anthropomorphizing of these frogs, to the extent that the final one doesn't flick out his tongue to eat the dragon fly!



And an adorable rendition of Frog he would a Wooing Go.

And speaking of Beatrix Potter, I've just started watching the film "Miss Potter" about her life. I've read a biography before, but it looks enjoyable with Renee Zellwiger and Ewan McGregor!

Today's quote:

To reach the depth we wish to access, we must dive below layers to the deepest parts of ourselves.

  6. The illustrations are from Beatrix Potter's own book - The Tales of Jeremy Fisher.
