This captivating image comes from the first edition of Scottish poet and anthropologist Andrew Lang s The Olive Fairy Book. Compiled in 1907 by 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. Each book in the series was named for the colour of its fairy. This Olive Fairy design reproduces the front cover of that book s first edition.
