Fairy tales can come true

I've loved fairy tales all my life. Love the stories, What with all the happy endings they're always so much better than real life. And especially love the illustrations. Some of the best art is in fantasy.

The Snow Queen is in my top three favorite fairy tales. This illustration by Vladislav Erko, artist-illustrator from Kiev, Ukraine is the best rendition of the images in my head that I've ever seen.(Many more at the link.)
