Autographed Poster Of THE TALE OF THE TIGER SLIPPERS By Jan Brett.
A note from the author: "In my art school days, I was drawn to the Persian miniatures and Indian court art of the Mughal dynasty at Boston's Museum of Fine Arts. The exquisitely jeweled royals and inquisitive explorations of birds, beasts, and flowers drew me into their world.
Then I came across the Persian tale about the Abu Kassem's slippers cut into a wonderful novel, a story within a story. Fascinated by the timeless wisdom in the tale, how things in our past inform our present and future. I was inspired to retell the story and set it in the kaleidoscopic world of the Mughal courts.
The Bengal tiger was my choice for this character. I visited three national parks in India (Bandhavgarh, Kanha, and Panna), and was rewarded with a rare close-up sighting of a large roaring male and many creatures I remembered from the miniatures.
I revisited many more museum galleries once home, and the artwork inspired an imagined world where tigers wear rubies, and peacocks give blessing to tiger cubs."
