| The Frog Prince |
Perhaps it was just my reference to the royal wedding but last week's post proved to be unexpectedly popular. Because of that I'm continuing with a similar theme this week - perfect princesses. Once again all these images were taken from various issues of Once Upon a Time magazine, published between 1969 and 1971. They represent the work of the artists I have already featured - Ron and Gerry Embleton, Jesus Blasco, Nadir Quinto and Jose Ortiz. Some are works by artists I have not yet been able to identify. If the princesses turn out to be half as popular as the weddings I will round off the trio next week with a selection of princes and heroes.

Sometimes a princess does not have to be perky to be special, but in fairy tales everything always works out in the end!

Wow - what a wonderful, wonderful site this is, I am so envious of all the wonderful pictures and would love to find copies of the magazine you mention "Once Upon A Time" this was published where? Keep up the wonderful work. One of your faithful fans Marge
Hi Marge - Once Upon a Time was a children's magazine printed in England between 1969 and 1971 but available throughout the Commonwealth. (My original copies are from my childhood in South Africa.) There are about 170 issues in total. I am trying to complete the collection of these magazines I had as a child. They come up for sale/auction quite often in eBay. Most are from the UK but I have bought some from Australia. I still love looking at them today as the artwork is beautiful. I have also been thrilled to be able to buy some of the original artwork featured in the magazines - something I could never have dreamt was possible when I was a child! Thanks for the lovely comment - Sharon
