Jorinda and Jorindel

A recent concept sketch for the story Jorinda and Jorindel, which will be featured in my next Kickstarter book “The Book of Fairy Tales.” Learn more here.

“There was once an old castle, that stood in the middle of a deep gloomy wood, and in the castle lived an old fairy that could take any shape she pleased. She flew about in the form of an owl, or crept about the country like a cat; but at night she always became an old woman again. When any pretty maiden or handsome young man came within her domain they were changed into a bird, put into a cage, and hung in a chamber in the castle. There were seven hundred cages hung in the castle, and all with beautiful birds in them.”
