Grimmig & Anders fairytale anthology by Thienemann Esslinger
It all started when…
An editor from the bespoke German children's book publisher Thienemann Esslinger saw some of my illustrations in an exhibit at the Bologna Children's Book Fair. They asked me what I thought about doing a richly illustrated anthology of macabre children's fairytales. When a German publisher that's been around since 1849 asks you to illustrate some fairytales by the Brothers Grimm, well, there's only one answer—YES! Oh, and then things really heated up when we added stories by Oscar Wilde, and the classic, Beauty and the Beast! That was the birth of the award-wining Grimmig & Anders.
