In the 1920s, while living in Paris, poet E. E. Cummings wrote fairy tales for his only little daughter Nancy, which was an unknown fact until 1965.
Only four survived and published in a small booklet accompanied by drawing by Canadian artist John Eaton.
In Brain Pickings, Maria Popova managed to track down the first edition of Cumming’s “Fairy Tales,” and shared the original illustrations to his stories.
