PB ULTRA LINED LANGS OLIVE FAIRY

This captivating image comes from Andrew Lang s The Olive Fairy Book. Compiled in 1907 by the Scottish poet and anthropologist Andrew Lang, illustrated by Henry Justice Ford and published under the editorial direction of Lang s wife, Leonora Alleyne, the book was one in a twelve-part series known as Lang s Fairy Books (or Andrew Lang s Fairy Books of Many Colours). Each book in the series was named for the colour of its fairy, and this Olive Fairy notebook reproduces the front cover of that book s first edition. Upon publication, the books were a sensation among British schoolchildren and were sold all around the world. May the Olive Fairy bring a hint of vintage whimsy to your writings.
