Bennett Schroeder: A Princess of Surrealism

In the attic of the International Youth Library,  you can find the collection of Bennett Schroeder: the books by her favorite writers or illustrators, her own books, and the little girl that never ages with time.
She gave us a guide herself to the hideout of that little girl and tell us her story of being an illustrator. Here is the story:

She wanted to be a nun when she was little, simply because the nuns dressed elegantly.

The melancholy of falling in love with a wrong man gave her the images to create this lovely story, Lupinchen, her favorite one. 

The little girl wears the shoes of different colors: one blue and one green.


Standing by the author with her book, what a honor. I hope my readers would feel the same about me. 

It's still a mystery how she got this hand puppet.

滿月傳奇 (格林文化)http://www.cite.com.tw/product_info.php?products_id=3495
is the book you can find in Taiwan illustrated by her.
