The Other Side Of Nowhere - Fairy Stories Of The Never Never
By Tarella Quin
Illustrated by Ida Rentoul Outhwaite
Published by Angus & Robertson Publishers: Sydney 1983 (Printed in Hong Kong)
"This enchanting collection of Australian fairy tales brings together the imaginative storytelling of Tarella Quin with the ethereal artistry of Ida Rentoul Outhwaite, one of Australia's most beloved illustrators. Originally published in the early 20th century, The Other Side of Nowhere weaves a series of gentle, dreamlike tales set in the mystical landscapes of the Australian bush — the "Never Never." Through fairies, bush spirits, and whimsical adventures, Quin captures a uniquely Australian sense of wonder and magic, while Outhwaite's delicate illustrations lend the stories a timeless, luminous beauty.
Reissued in 1983 by Angus & Robertson, this finely printed edition preserves the charm and visual grace of the original publication. A treasured volume for admirers of Outhwaite's art, collectors of Australian fairy literature, and readers drawn to the romantic blend of fantasy and folklore from the nation's early storytelling tradition."
