Book Description
‘Fairies I Have Met’ is a collection of fairy tales, originally penned by Mrs Rodolph Stawell, accompanied by Edmund Dulac’s splendid colour illustrations. It was written for a little girl named Penelope, ‘so that she may love the fairies, and keep the sunbeam always in her heart.’ In a like manner, it is a text which is sure to delight all its readers – both young and old alike. It includes the stories ‘The Cloud that had no Lining’, ‘The Big Spider’s Diamonds’, ‘A Little Girl in a Book’, ‘The Box of Dreams’, ‘The Fairy Who had only one Wing’, and many more. This book contains a set of dazzling illustrations by a true master of the ‘Golden Age’; Edmund Dulac (1882 – 1953). A talented French-born, British naturalised illustrator and designer, Dulac had a particular affinity for the fairy tale. This love, as well as possessing a rigorously painterly background, produced some truly stunning images. Appearing alongside the text, his delicate illustrations further enhance and elucidate Mrs Stawell’s enchanting narratives. Pook Press celebrates the great ‘Golden Age of Illustration‘ in children’s literature – a period of unparalleled excellence in book illustration. We publish rare and vintage Golden Age illustrated books, in high-quality colour editions, so that the masterful artwork and story-telling can continue to delight both young and old.

Book Description
Excerpt from Fairies I Have Met I am going to England with her, said Sunbeam the First. How? Asked the others. I shall hide in her hair, said Sunbeam the First. Then, said Sunbeam the Second, I shall go too. I shall hide behind her eyelashes. And I, said Sunbeam the Third, shall hide in her heart. So Penelope went to England, with one sunbeam in her hair, and one in her eyes, and one in her heart. When she was old enough to talk she spoke to the sunbeams. Shall you always stay in my hair? She asked Sun beam the First. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book Description
Finally available, a high quality book of the original classic edition of Fairies Afield. It was previously published by other bona fide publishers, and is now, after many years, back in print. This is a new and freshly published edition of this culturally important work by Mrs. Molesworth, which is now, at last, again available to you. Enjoy this classic work today. These selected paragraphs distill the contents and give you a quick look inside Fairies Afield: 'I am afraid, Linde, dear, ' said Aria on the Friday evening, when they had again filled the canister with the precious leaves to be ready for market next day, 'I am afraid that we must think no more about your dream, or that it meant anything. We have still leaves enough for one other day's sale after to-morrow, and we must just be thankful for the help it has been, giving us time to consider what we must do to get through the winter, ' and though she tried to speak cheerfully, the poor girl could not keep back a little sigh, which Linde was quick to hear. ...Then the bird gave a sudden shiver, a thrill of returning life passed through him-Linde herself was conscious of it in her fingers-his eyes unclosed; he looked up at her, then, with a wonderful note of exceeding joy, he spread his wings and flew round the bower, returning again to perch on the child's still outstretched hand, as if in gratitude. ...She was a very practical maiden, in spite of her fairy perceptions, so the first thing she did was to lay the small treasures safely in the old jar, saying to herself, and 'to-morrow night-no, I should say to-night, we will place it outside on the window-sill and in the morning it will be filled with the lovely leaves. ...I suppose the old jar and the magic spade were carried away as heirlooms, for though I looked about in some very curious antique shops in the neighbouring town, hoping to find one or both, I never succeeded in doing so, nor could I trace the family at all, which is scarcely to be wondered at, as no one still living remembered the sisters save by the quaint names of 'Aria' and 'Linde'-names which I love, and which I hope this story may lead others to love also.
