Swedish Fairy Tales and John Bauer
I will be returning to more Snow White and Sleeping Beauty posts next week. I have so much I want to write, but it requires sitting and thinking which isn't happening very easily this week. So after the holiday weekend in which I hope to get caught up in other areas of my life, I hope the blog will become more of a conversation again, welcoming in the new collegiate school year.
Anyway, I have been reading many, many fairy tale collections for the SurLaLune book series and am working my way through some Swedish tales, too. Admittedly, if one is going to own a collection of Swedish fairy tales, it should undoubtedly be one illustrated by John Bauer, such as Swedish Folk Tales
or Swedish Fairy Tales
.
Bauer makes the trolls quite lovely in their uniquely ugly way.
Then one looks at an illustration like this one and thinks, AHA! A Swedish Snow White! Nope, not at all. The girl is giving away the fruit to poor passers-by actually. How easy it is to assume and be wrong.
All of these images are from Artsy Craftsy by the way, part of Art Passions, which has been around for about as long as SurLaLune. All of the images are available as art prints. Lovely, lovely. You can also read more about John Bauer on Wikipedia. His work has such a modern touch to it that it is hard to fathom he died in 1918.

Clay Aiken and Diane Bubel, Inclusion Project co-founders.
The year 2003 not only marked the beginning of Clay Aiken's professional singing career but also the inception of a charity that helps children with disabilities experience life with their peers.
In July while still on tour following his American Idol season, Clay, a special education major at UNC-Charlotte, and Diane Bubel, mother of a child with autism, co-founded the Bubel/Aiken Foundation.
Last year the organization changed its name to the National Inclusion Project, Inc., to better describe its agenda -- bridging the gap that exists between young people with disabilities and the world around them.
In seven years, the foundation has become highly respected in its field, training programs on best practice inclusion techniques, partnering with inclusive programs in communities, and creating awareness about the possibilities inclusion can bring.
This week Charity Navigator, America's premier charity evaluator, awarded the National Inclusion Project the coveted 4-star rating for the second consecutive year. Only 21% of charities evaluated by the organization have ever achieved back-to-back four-star ratings.
A $50,000 Pepsi Refresh win by the National Inclusion Project would fund the following programs:
- Train staff across the country on best practice inclusion techniques.
- Provide training supplies.
- Give scholarships to children unable to afford programs.
INCLUSION: What Are You Waiting For?

The National Inclusion Project gives children with disabilities the opportunity to experience all life has to offer.
Through Let's ALL Play, children with disabilities have the same experiences as those without by participating together in recreational activities such as swimming, arts and crafts, community service, physical fitness and more.
Children of all abilities participating in Let's ALL Play have seen dramatic development in motor skills as well as improvement in social skills, self-esteem, compassion, and understanding.
The Project will bring Let's ALL Play to community programs nationwide by providing training on best practice inclusion techniques and scholarships so that no child is left on the sidelines.
This training will expand the capacity of programs to offer inclusive experiences for generations to come.
National Project supports Let's ALL Play camps nationwide.
A mother said, "At camp, my son does not have Down Syndrome, wear hearing aids, or have difficulty with his speech. He is simply a camper."
Let's get to work. Have a wonderful week, Clay Nation!
