A Collection of Cinderellas - a photo on Flickriver

This year the FFF+ Group have decided to have a monthly challenge called “Freestyle On The Fifth”. A different theme chosen by a member of the group each month, and the image is to be posted on the 5th of the month.

This month the theme, “make me smile” was chosen by David (DaveSPN).

There are lots of things that make me smile, so I have decided to combine different things that make me smile into my photos.

I grew up listening to my maternal grandmother reading faerie tales to me from a big (at least from a child\'s perspective) green leather bound volume of Grimm\'s Faerie Tales with fine gilding and marbled edges. It had numerous colour plates. The book had been hers as a child, and her mother\'s before her. My Grandmother\'s story telling instilled the love of faerie tales in me, both the written word and the illustrations created during the “Golden Age of Children\'s Illustration”. It is thanks to her indulgence and that of my Mother that today I am both an antiquarian bibliophile (book lover and collector) and a deltiologist (postcard lover and collector). I sometimes unpack my collections and just admire the illustrations and tell myself the tales, which I now know by rote. This makes me smile!

This photograph represents what makes me smile through my love and delight of the faerie tale of Cinderella, and my love of antiquarian books and postcards. I have listed where possible details as to the books and postcards for your reference.
