This captivating image comes from the first edition of Scottish poet and anthropologist Andrew Langâ´s The Olive Fairy Book. Compiled in 1907 by Lang (1844â1912) and illustrated by Henry Justice Ford (1860â1941), the book was one in a twelve-part series known as Langâ´s Fairy Books. Each book in the series was named for the colour of its fairy. This Olive Fairy pencil case reproduces the front cover of that bookâ´s first edition.
