EDITORS COMMENTS
is an enchanting illustration taken from the pages of "Once Upon a Time" no. 135, published on September 11, 1971. This work of art invites us into a serene and idyllic countryside setting, where nature thrives in all its splendor. At the heart of the scene, a crystal-clear stream meanders through the landscape, reflecting the vibrant colors of the surrounding flora and fauna. A willow tree, its branches laden with yellow leaves, gracefully arches over the water, providing shade and shelter for the diverse wildlife that inhabits this tranquil haven. Among the inhabitants, a heron stands motionless on the riverbank, its long, elegant neck poised to strike at the unsuspecting prey lurking beneath the surface. A mallard duck paddles gently through the water, its iridescent green head bobbing in the gentle current. A voles scurries along the riverbank, its tiny form dwarfed by the towering foliage. The scene is further enlivened by the presence of a kingfisher, perched on a nearby branch, its vivid blue-green plumage a striking contrast to the muted tones of the willow. A damsel fly skims the water's surface, its delicate wings shimmering in the sunlight. As the eye travels further, it is drawn to the delicate blooms of forget-me-nots that carpet the riverbank, their tiny blue flowers adding a touch of ethereal beauty to the scene. The gentle crackle of leaves underfoot and the melodic trill of birdsong complete the sensory experience of being transported to this idyllic and enchanting world. This exquisite illustration, with its intricate details and rich color palette, is a testament to the enduring allure of nature and the power of art to capture and preserve its essence.
