Verses by Annie R. Rentoul
Published by Lothian Books: Port Melbourne 1999
"This beautifully produced volume is a modern facsimile of the 1916 classic Elves & Fairies, a cornerstone of Australian children's illustration and fantasy art. It brings together the delicate imagination of Ida Rentoul Outhwaite with the lyrical verses of her sister Annie R. Rentoul, creating a timeless world of enchantment where fairies, elves, witches, and woodland creatures come to life. Each page is illuminated by Outhwaite's ethereal watercolours and fine ink drawings, evoking the same magical charm that first captivated readers early in the twentieth century.
Published by Lothian Books in 1999, this edition faithfully reproduces the elegance and wonder of the original, preserving one of Australia's most cherished artistic collaborations. An essential title for admirers of golden age illustration, lovers of fairy art, and collectors of classic Australian children's literature."
