thank you illustration (Ontario)

I almost never include non-postcard content on my blog but this was just too good! Our friends’ son Walter celebrated a birthday recently and we found a copy of D’Aulaires’ Book of Trolls which we sent as a birthday gift. He had been introduced to the D’Aulaires’ books on mythology, a passion shared by his mother and me (and so many others). I checked out the Book of Norse Myths so many times that the school librarian let me keep it until someone else requested it! I was delighted to find the trolls book in a used bookstore in good condition, so we sent it and he was very excited to receive it. He illustrated this terrific thank-you card with trolls of his own design, which I find so fantastic.
