About This Item
London: William Collins, 1985. Hardback small quarto, dustjacket, very good condition (in very good dustjacket), colour plates, minor edgewear jacket (tiny dent front cover). 64 pp. Amelia Jane Murray, born in 1800 on the Isle of Man, painted a magical series of fairy pictures which have never been previously published. Flowers, birds and winged insects are all careful studies in natural history. The seascapes are both romantic and real. Amelia left no explanation for her drawings. The text of this beautiful children's picture book attempts to complement the pictures with a combination of poetry and appreciation. Suitable for older children and adults who appreciate art and literature.
