Bedroom Dragged Fairy Nursery Ogre Rhymes Stories

EDITORS COMMENTS
This illustration, titled 'The Ogre Dragged the Children from Under the Bed,' dates back to the early 1920s and was created by the talented artist Terry Parker. The image transports us to a fantastical world of fairy tales and nursery rhymes, where the line between reality and imagination blurs. In the illustration, an ogre, a fearsome creature with bulging eyes, a wide mouth, and a menacing grin, is shown in the process of dragging two terrified children from under a bed. The children, with wide-open eyes and mouths, cling to each other in terror, their nightgowns disheveled and their faces pale with fear. The bedroom setting, with its soft, pastel colors and cozy furnishings, contrasts sharply with the intrusion of the ogre, creating a sense of unease and suspense. The illustration is reminiscent of the classic fairy tales and nursery rhymes that have been passed down through generations. These stories, with their mix of magic, adventure, and danger, have the power to transport us to far-off lands and capture our imaginations. The image of the ogre dragging the children from under the bed is a classic example of the tension and excitement that these stories can create. Despite the fear and danger depicted in the illustration, there is a sense of wonder and excitement that comes with delving into the world of fairy tales and nursery rhymes. This image, with its vivid colors and intricate details, invites us to explore the story further and imagine the adventures that await the children beyond the safety of their bedroom. Overall, Terry Parker's illustration of 'The Ogre Dragged the Children from Under the Bed' is a stunning example of the power of illustration to bring a story to life and transport us to another world.
