The Gruffalo is a children's book by writer and playwright Julia Donaldson, illustrated by Axel Scheffler, that tells the story of a mouse, the protagonist of the book, taking a walk in a European forest.
I was very pleased to receive this stamp. It is the very first book (err... tale?) I read in English. As an adult.
I love the Gruffalo stamp (and am a happy receiver, too). I've never read the books (although I had it in hands a few times in the book store - the 'children's books' section in book shops are great for grown-ups, too). But I've seen the short animation movie 'The child of the Gruffalo', which I loved, too.
Thank you for sharing - and I agree: more books/illustrations on stamps!
So glad to see you feature (kid's) books on stamps. This is a great one - perfect for a first in English.
ReplyDeleteI'd like to see more books on stamps. some illustrations from children's books would be perfect!

It was a birthday present for me. For my 32th or so :P
Deletej'ai pas lu le livre...mais je trouve le tres drole, le gruffelo. peut-etra je vais le lire aussi.
ReplyDeleteC'est bref et amusant. Je crois que cela doit être facile à trouver dans quelque bibliothèque.
DeleteIsn't it interesting to read children's stories as an adult.
ReplyDeleteThis one was a present, but sometimes I read children's stories from the library. I believe that good books have no age.
