The Playing Cards painting roses for the Queen of Hearts in Alice in Wonderland.
Bilbo and Gollum drawing for the Hobbit.Just a fun and funky illustration style by this Finnish-Swedish woman. I grew up reading the books and am in the process of collecting her books. The Moomintrolls are cute little creatures and they have all sorts of adventures and they are the books I read.
A couple of links to the author/illustrator: http://virtual.finland.fi/netcomm/news/showarticle.asp?intNWSAID=27031 and http://www.kirjasto.sci.fi/tjansson.htm
(Kind of a fun connection too since my father is from Finland as you know and in his background we also have Swedish blood in us.)
Tove also illustrated The Hobbit and Alice in Wonderland...and other books as you can see above. Here are more links: http://www.zepe.de/tjillu/hobbit/index.html and http://zepe.de/tjillu/alice/index.html
