EDITORS COMMENTS
Feasting her eyes on the lovely things before her, this enchanting illustration from The Cuckoo Clock by Mrs Molesworth captures a moment of pure wonder and imagination. Published by Macmillan in 1930, it showcases the extraordinary talent of Charles Edmund Brock. In this mesmerizing scene, we find Griselda, a young girl sent to live with her two old aunts. Lonely and bored, she discovers that the cuckoo in their old clock possesses magical powers. Transported to Butterflyland and even to the Other Side of the Moon, Griselda's world becomes surreal and entrancing. The vibrant colors and intricate details bring forth an ethereal quality as Griselda is surrounded by fluttering butterflies. Her wide-eyed expression reflects both awe and delight as she beholds these magnificent creatures up close. A giant blackbird looms nearby, adding an element of mystery to this Victorian-era tale. This children's book illustration not only captures the beauty of nature but also evokes a sense of magic that can be found within our own imaginations. It serves as a reminder for all ages that there is something truly special about exploring new worlds through literature. Brock's skillful portrayal effortlessly transports us into Griselda's fantastical journey – one where dreams come alive amidst whimsical landscapes filled with animals both real and imagined.
