Bedtime Stories: Let’s get adventurous, honey, let’s get adventurous

Next year, Cream will be celebrating its 30th anniversary, so already we’re scouring through past issues and online stories to bring you some of the more memorable published work.

Looking through our photo archives, we came across this beaut shoot which happened to pair classic fairy tale motifs with fab vintage accessories.

Because big kids still love the odd storybook!
