A fairytale postcard from Iris Esther - Jack and the Beanstalk

Sometimes an adventure begins with nothing more than a handful of beans.

Inspired by the classic fairy tale Jack and the Beanstalk, this illustration captures Jack somewhere halfway between the familiar world below and whatever might be waiting for him above.

Climbing higher and higher, surrounded by enormous leaves, curling tendrils and dangling bean pods, Jack pauses for just a moment to look out across the landscape far beneath him. The ground already seems impossibly distant — but the top of the beanstalk is nowhere to be seen.

I have always loved this part of the story: that strange moment when curiosity becomes courage and there is really no knowing what you might find if you just keep climbing.

With its soft blue sky, enormous green leaves and little Jack disappearing into a world much bigger than himself, this postcard brings a small piece of old-fashioned fairy-tale adventure into your home.

Lovely to send, display in a child’s room or reading corner, or keep as a tiny piece of illustrated fairy-tale art.
