Seraphin rocks my day
I recently rediscovered one of my favorite books as a child. It's called "Le merveilleux chef d'oeuvre de Seraphin" or "Serafin og hans makeløse mesterverk" in Norwegian. It's written by Philippe Fix, and I have spent countless hours studying the details in the illustrations as a kid. Looking at the pictures today takes me back instantly to my childhood, and I can see how it has inspired my imagination and my creativity. Today I found that there is actually two more books in this series, so of course I have to order them.

This book was also one of my favourites as a child; I could study the pictures for hours. When my nephew came of age I gave it to him - and now his mother is ordering me to come home and read it to him - she says: You try to read that book and no other, three times a day for three months and see if you still like it...

ReplyDeletehar akkurat tråla nettet på jakt etter hva det var for noe, det minnet i bakhue om de tøffe tegningene - endte her. Takk!
ReplyDeleteMe too! I always loved and remembered Seraphin.
ReplyDeleteIt came strongly again to my mind because the film production company with which I work as cinematographer, decided to produce an animation series... but the drawings that were been proposed were so poor! When they came to ask for my opinion I answered: <>.
Why it's common opinion that children need for badly baby like handmade drawings ?
and I said also: "I'm am sorry I lived my childhood studying the Seraphine books... I really can't imagine these drawings to be anyway interesting for children?"
ReplyDelete:) thanks for sharing
