Olive Fairy Journal

Andrew Lang (1844–1912) was a Scottish poet, novelist, literary critic, and anthropologist, best remembered as a collector of folk and fairy tales. Lang was greatly passionate about folklore, mythology, and religion, and especially fascinated by mystical tales from other cultures. He compiled a collection of books known as Lang’s Fairy Books, which featured illustrations by Henry Justice Ford (1860–1941), a prolific and successful English artist and illustrator. 

The Olive Fairy design reproduces the front cover of Lang’s Olive Fairy Book. Published in 1907, it included stories gathered from places like Turkey, India, Denmark, Armenia, and Sudan. Ford’s illustration has a botanical and almost insectile quality that gives the figure a sense of scientific realism as well as fey possibility. May the Olive Fairy bring a hint of whimsy to your writings.
