2009-Sep-03
Monika Finsterbusch has designed a stamp motif specifically for Swiss Post, showing Lillifee on a visit to Switzerland, standing at the foot of the Matterhorn waving a Swiss flag and her magic wand.

Lillifee, a princess with curly blonde hair, lives in a castle of flowers in her fairy kingdom of Pinkovia. She spends her entire day lovingly caring for all the animals and plants that live there. The Lillifee books are aimed at children aged four and above and focus on friendship, nature and animals.

Finsterbusch, author and illustrator worked as a fashion designer for many years before moving into toy design in the late 1990s. Princess Lillifee first appeared in a book in 2004 – dressed of course in pink plush decorated with lots of glitter and rose petals, complete with a little crown to wear. Young girls immediately fell in love with the book and its delightful drawings. A total of seven Princess Lillifee books have now been published, fascinating stories in which fables, fairytales and reality exist side-by-side. Lillifee has also appeared in animated film.
