Rentoul and Ida Rentoul Outhwaite. First published in 1922, this lyrical fairy tale follows the adventures of two children who encounter a fairy and follow her along the little green road into her magical world. The poetic text by Annie R. Rentoul perfectly complements Ida's ethereal and dreamlike illustrations, among the finest examples of early 20th-century Australian children's art. This Australian edition, produced in Melbourne by The Specialty Press for Oxford University Press, represents the post-war renaissance of Outhwaite's fairy art, printed with exceptional clarity and color fidelity. Complete in its scarce illustrated dust jacket, it is a collector's treasure ? a quintessential example of the golden age of fairy illustration.
