My fascination with folktales did not start with the Brothers Grimm nor Hans Christian Andersen. In elementary school, my security blanket consisted of "The World Picture Atlas" and "Stories to Solve". I felt safe in knowing every puzzle in the book but also I was enchanted by the illustrations in every page. In fact, I believe the book has some inspiration in my doodling.
I was in Anthropologie two days ago and found these plates on sale. Nostalgia. I honestly now believe there is room for your childhood in your adult life. You're not too old for another security blanket.
The story reveals the pure wisdom of a good king. One day, his rival tests him , in hopes of mockery, in filling a room with millions of artifical flowers. But among them was only one real flower. She challenges him, asking him to seek out the real flower with one guess. Since the king is truly wise, he opens a window and a bee flies in and lands directly on the real flower.
