Button Tales

Illustrations by Eva Bednářová for Button Tales (Knoflíková Pohádká)
by Olga Hejná (Albatross, Prague, 1974)

Eva Bednářová (1937–1986) was a prolific Czech illustrator who won both BIB and IBBYawards (major illustration awards). I haven't found a bio for her in English, but this Czech pageincludes a bibliography, a photo, and two amazing images (I want whatever books they come from). I stumbled on Knoflíková Pohádká in (of all places) Magus Books in Seattle.
