That Monday morning feeling... 🛌 English artist and book illustrator Walter Crane, born #OTD in 1845, illustrated Household Stories, from the collection of the Brothers Grimm. 📑12411 g 5
Illustrated frontispiece of Household Stories, from the collection of the Brothers Grimm. A woman lies asleep on a bed, surrounded by a sleeping dog and a musical instrument while a man in a hat watches over her. The caption reads: The Sleeping Beauty - at last he came to the tower & opened the door of the little room where Rosamond lay.

Very much so. I studied Philosophy and Literature, and our graduates went into all sorts of rich and diverse professions. Education is about more than employment.

Replying to @penelopefarmer1 @NCRCL @RobertSmith
Some of the best teachers are the ones who tell and teach stories. Without them, so what? Science has its stories of course. But they are not about humans, they don’t teach us to understand ourselves. Art does that. Literature does. Gradgrind lives these days. It’s awful.

Replying to @NCRCL @RobertSmith
Of course this interests me. The ditching of arts degrees seems to be for financial reasons. Arts graduates’ jobs don’t enable them to pay back their grants. As if money was the only point of education. Arts of all kinds visual and literary contributes to society at a deep level.
