The winter is coming, and Christmas is nearby... Even if there is still no snow in the place where you live your mood is slightly turning to the holiday tune. It's the time to put out our favorite tales about the winter and miraculous things happening in this season unjustly considered to be the dullest and less likes by masses.
Hans Christian Andersen's "The Snow Queen" is a really enchanting tale of love, devotedness, adventures and magic. It's one of the longest and most captivating books I read when I was 7 or 8 years old. And I really enjoyed it. I am not going to recite this fairy tale - I'll just say that every children's book should have great illustrations in order to become loved by both young and adult readers. "The Snow Queen" is lucky in this sense because the most prominent artists make illustrations to it.
And one of this fairy tale's editions was illustrated by the wonderful artist Vladislav Yerko who is probably a bit of sorcerer himself. Just have a look at some his illustrations to "The Snow Queen":
Some information about the artist: Vladislav Yerko (born in 1962 in Kiev, Ukraine) is the artist and the author of widely recognized illustrations to books by Paolo Coelho, Carlos Castaneda, Richard Bach as well as to books for children, such as "The Snow Queen" and "The Misty Albion Fairy Tales".
Vladislav is not a public person despite of the fact that his more popular and well-known colleagues call him the best artist and editors are proud of working with him. Books for children, illustrated by this prominent artist regularly get the regional and international awards and the Ukrainian publishing house "Sophia" has recently issued the album of Yerko's illustrations to Paolo Coelho's books which the writer himself considers to be the best ones in the world.
