Fairy Tale and Folktale Fridays #41: Disturbing Fairy Tale and Folktale Artworks Part 2

 


 Hey there!  Welcome to "Fairy Tale and Folktale Fridays," a new feature on my blog where I discuss about some fairy tales and folktales I have read throughout the years. 


Wow!  It's been a long time since I last did the "Fairy Tale and Folktale Fridays" feature.  This was my favorite feature for the blog, since I love fairy tales and folktales.  But life got in the way, and I wasn't able to post as frequently on my blog as I used to.

So, to make up for my absence on this blog, I'm going to start up this series again and this time, I wanted to get into showing off some disturbing artworks from various fairy tales and folktales over the years (because there's actually quite a lot of them).  So, here are the second set of disturbing artworks that I've found!


1. Russian Fairy Tales 1: Artwork by Boris Zabirokhin







2. The Giant Enters: Arabian Nights: Artwork by Henry Justice Ford  (SOURCE FOR ARTWORK): ARCHIVE.ORG






3.  Bluebeard from the Brothers Grimm: Artwork by Gustave Doré  (SOURCE FOR ARTWORK): CHARLES PERRAULT'S FAIRY TALES







4.  The Fool and the Flying Ship (Russian Folktale): Artwork by Henrik Drescher






5. Russian Fairy Tales 1: Artwork by Boris Zabirokhin







6.  Arabian Nights: Artwork by Henry Justice Ford  (SOURCE FOR ARTWORK): ARCHIVE.ORG





7.  The Demon of CathayArtwork by Henry Justice Ford  (SOURCE FOR ARTWORK): ARCHIVE.ORG






8. The Pilgrim's Progress: Artwork by Henry Justice Ford  (SOURCE FOR ARTWORK): ARCHIVE.ORG

10. Arabian Nights: Artwork by John D. Batten  (SOURCE FOR ARTWORK): ARCHIVE.ORG






So, this is the second part of the "Disturbing Fairy Tale and Folktale Artworks!"  I'm hoping to make this a more weekly thing, so stay tuned for more disturbing fairy tale and folktale artworks!

The Sunday Post Meme (241)

 

 Hey everybody! I am participating in a book meme called the Sunday Post which is being hosted by Kimba the Caffeinated Book Reviewer! The goal of this meme is to share news you have  on various books and things you’ve read or received and also talk about what is coming up for your blog! Book hauls can include library books, yard sale finds, arcs and bought books and you can share these finds with other book bloggers!


Hey everyone!  HAPPY THANKSGIVING TO ANYONE WHO CELEBRATES IT!  Me and my family had a wonderful meal that had turkey, collard greens, green beans, neckbones, cheesecake and banana pudding.  Everything was so delicious!  Also, my little sister came to visit us for Thanksgiving and we took her back home today.  I had such a lovely time riding in the car today, because I've been pretty stressed out lately, what with everything going on in the world right now.  Riding in a car really helped out with my stress and I feel so good now!




Follow me through Blogger and Bloglovin to reach this goal!

One Word: RELAX.






(HBO MAX)

* Oh my goodness!  I think that "Weapons" is probably the scariest movie that I have seen this year!  I've been looking forward to watching this movie and man, I didn't expect to be this invested in this movie!




(NETFLIX)

* I've been watching this remake for awhile now and I have to say that so far, it's just as good as the original "Ranma 1/2" series!  I'm really enjoying the humor in this series and I love how faithful this series is to the manga!  My only problem with this series so far is that the pacing is a bit too fast and I wish that they slow down a bit with the pacing.





 

Do you celebrate Thanksgiving?








*So, here are some good things that happened to me recently!




* I had a lovely Thanksgiving meal with my family and it was so wonderful having so many good things to eat like turkey, collard greens, green beans, neckbones and banana pudding!

* My little sister had come to visit us for Thanksgiving and we drove her back home today.  I had a wonderful time riding out today and it really helped eased up the stress that I've been having for the past few months.







 That Happy Reader wishes you a Happy Thanksgiving!
