My own interest in it started out with John Bauer's art, which was recommended by an artist friend, and is deeply captivating. After reading your summary, and Pravallika's own rather heartbreaking experience with the art, I am now all the more set on finding this story in print somehow, whether in Swedish or English.<br /><br />Thank you very much for this gem of a post. It is very much appreciated.Seanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17860566249304591279noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8701743281155478805.post-63279157498420170052009-01-14T21:13:00.000-06:002009-01-14T21:13:00.000-06:00Dear Pravallika,What a compelling thing for you to...Dear Pravallika,<BR/><BR/>What a compelling thing for you to share with me. Thank you. Your story really touched my heart. I am sincerely sorry for your loss. What a wonderfully thoughtful man your husband must have been that he made the effort to find and order that print for you for your birthday, knowing how much it would mean to you. The thought of someone being so loving and giving is heart warming.<BR/><BR/>I am joyed that my posting was able to bring you the missing piece and tell you the story behind the beautiful picture. As I stated, it is my favorite story. It is simple, yet captures your heart the way only love can. <BR/><BR/>I had a hard time finding the story/book myself, but remembered it fondly from my childhood. The story is part of a collection found in a translated version called "Great Swedish Fairy Tales" Illustrated by John Bauer. However, I'm pretty certain that it is out of print, so may be difficult to find, I'm not sure.<BR/><BR/>If you would like to have the story in its entirety, I would be happy to copy it for you and send it to you in the mail. If that is the case, just e-mail me your mailing address at martinacharlottejonsson@gmail.com and I would be glad to put it in the mail for you.<BR/><BR/>Thank you for sharing YOUR beautiful story. My thoughts are with you, a world away.Charlottehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08010766139045055726noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8701743281155478805.post-59373192617246195092009-01-14T09:53:00.000-06:002009-01-14T09:53:00.000-06:00Hi.

In the process, I came across 'Princess Tuvstarr' by John Bauer and fell in love with it. That was when my marriage was going through a troubled time. On an impulse I forwarded the pic to my husband. My Birthday falls in May and he overwhelmed me with a print of the painting ordered from the Jonkoping museum. I was thrilled to bits but never really made efforts to know the full story behind the Princess, nor did I find any ready literature on Bland Tomtar Och Troll in English.<BR/><BR/>My husband died last November. We had loved each other for 8 short years. Of the few fond memories of him, the painting, is still with me. And today, just as I was searching for the story of Tuvstarr, I found your blog and....am in tears actually.<BR/><BR/>Thank you very much. Reading your blog post added meaning to the painting. Losing your heart and searching for it in the pool, spell bound and for eternity....its much like what I am feeling right now. Thank you once again.<BR/><BR/>Pravallika.<BR/>(From India)Pravallikahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17328545582656668779noreply@blogger.com
