Bee, Princess of the Dwarfs by Anatole France is a fairy tale from the Art Nouveau era, published in english in 1912.
My family is lucky enough to own a copy of this beautiful, but rare book, and I felt that it needed sharing, so I created a website were you can read the whole story and see the beautiful illustrations which inspired me to paint two artworks of Bee and George, the main characters.
This is a truly sweet and moving story and highly recommended read.
Please note, the website containing the story was made in 2002 and not updated since, so please forgive it’s retro build.
