When I was a kid, I was afraid of monsters and ghosts (like most of the kids in the world I guess). Once I heard a story, where ghosts appeared inside a mirror. From then on, I couldn’t go to the bath in the night, without being afraid.

I had to read the whole book of „Jim Knopf und Lukas der Lokomotivführer“ and „Jim Knopf und die wilde 13“ by Michael Ende to my daughter (five years old).
I love the original illustrations in the book, but still the story is so inspiring. In the second book (Jim Button and the wild 13?) they meet king Lormoral, the king under the sea. He is pretty old and not the brightest person. His crown is made of „chrystal of eternity“? (a kind of glass which is unbreakable).
Love the books, I don’t know if they are popular in the US but here they are a classic!
So here comes my king Lormoral (made with water colors and ink):
