"Sigurd Petersson and the Lighthouse" is a fairy tale inspired by ancient sagas, ethnic tales of different origin, and wonderful nature of Iceland. This story will doubtless be fascinating reading not only for children of various ages and their parents, but also for everyone who adores magical tales, which of course are never quite as straightforward as one expects.

Words have huge hidden power, so you have to use them with deliberation. Our world is full of vanity and unjustified cruelty, pain and dirt. A true fairy tale is free of this; it is as pure as the soul of a child.

If a word is an embodiment of thoughts and feelings, than a colour is an emotion, and, finally, a picture is an embodiment of a word. My challenge is to capture the magic hidden in words and make it visible.
