The princess who had everything...

I can't remember the time when I bought a fairy tale book before. It must be a long long time ago...

De prinses die alles had

But a few months ago, two in house cartoonists of the ECC published no cartoon, but a real fairy tale book. And I bought it, in trust, without seeing it before. "The princess who had everything" - "De prinses die alles had" (Dutch language/ISBN 978-90-824489-4-8) is the very pleasing result of this successful collaboration.

The great drawings are made by IOA (Nikola Hendrickx) , the story is by AAaRGh (Mario De Koninck). Nikola has done a great job of drawing and painting the fantastic fairy-tale characters which Mario furnished with witty names and a nice story line. It's a children's book, but as an adult I  enjoyed it very much.

What I also liked  was the idea of  printing a "making of " chapter at the end of the book.
Interesting for grownups, but also for children.

In the book I received  a nice letter was added written by Mario and Nikola. They thanked the buyers and ended with the words:
"Do you like the book? Tell it further. Because we like to sell more books. Don't you like it? Be silent. Because we like to sell more books."

I tell it further... and I hope they sell more books. It's good!
