A book cover mockup & three spot illustrations inspired by “The Tale of Despereaux” by Kate DiCamillo. I remember my fifth grade teacher suggesting me to read this book back in the day and I absolutely loved it!
It's definitely one of those books that left a lasting impression on me.
These pieces are my interpretations of a few memorable parts from the story. Enjoy! :)
The story of a mouse, a princess, some soup, and a spool of thread.
"And from the very beginning, Despereaux Tilling heard more, saw more, and even smelled more than any of the other mice."
"Go find my father. Take this chain from around my neck, to show him you are honest and truthful."
"This year’s soup is a spring tureen with a melange of roasted vegetables, fresh herbs, and wild mushrooms."
