Margot Benary-Isbert and Enrico Arno

In 1955 Margot Benary-Isbert wrote 'The Wicked Enchantment'. It is a lovely young adult novel translated from German and illustrated by Enrico Arno. It is now out of print. 

When my daughter was a little girl, we read this and it became a family favorite.  In the story, Aunt Gundula sleeps in a large bed she calls 'The Dream Ship', thus our big, roomy bed became our own dream ship. 

She is now a grown woman expecting her own child and she reintroduced me to this book I am now borrowing. I found Enrico's illustrations so nice and his art of dream ship worked great for my blog. Thank you Margot and Enrico where ever you are sailing.
